Discover the art and alchemy of fragrance creation in this hands-on, one-day workshop designed for curious beginners. Whether you're a scent lover, creative spirit, or simply looking for a unique experience, this immersive class will introduce you to the fundamentals of perfume-making and guide you in crafting your very own signature scent.

In this workshop, you will:

• Learn the basics of how perfumes are structured using top, middle, and base notes.

• Explore the main fragrance families (floral, woody, amber, and fresh).

• Smell and experiment with a curated selection of essential oils and aroma materials.

• Understand the differences between alcohol- and oil-based perfumes.

• Blend your own custom fragrance to take home in a 10 mL bottle (written formula included).

This intimate and engaging session includes guided instruction by our perfumer and owner Nicholas Brittain, all materials, and plenty of time for scent exploration and creativity. By the end, you'll walk away with a beautifully bottled perfume, a deeper understanding of the perfumery process, and the inspiration to keep creating.

All materials provided. No experience necessary.

Once your order is placed I will contact you to work out a time that suits you.
