Discover the art of natural perfumery in this hands-on, beginner-friendly workshop. Each participant will create a 30 mL all-natural eau de toilette perfume to take home, working with a curated palette of 30 exquisite natural notes.
You’ll learn how to smell and assess individual notes, understand their roles in a balanced perfume, and thoughtfully blend them into a personal fragrance using high-quality botanical extracts and essential oils. This immersive, sensory experience offers a relaxed introduction to perfume making and encourages experimentation, curiosity, and personal expression.
Natural perfumes are created using aromatic materials sourced from nature, such as essential oils, absolutes, and resins, without the use of synthetic fragrance ingredients.
The workshop lasts up to three hours and all materials are provided. No prior experience is necessary.
