I’m bringing our all-natural perfume-making workshop to Vestmannaeyjar in collaboration with VISKA. Join me for an evening of scent, experimentation and making your own fragrance.

Discover the art and alchemy of natural fragrance creation in this hands-on, evening workshop designed for curious beginners. Whether you're a scent lover, a creative spirit, or simply curious about fragrance, this immersive class introduces you to the fundamentals of perfume-making through the lens of nature, locality, and modern botanical expression.

Led by perfumer and Ilmur & Sjór founder Nicholas Brittain, you’ll explore some of Iceland’s locally-made, native aromatic materials, and create your very own natural perfume using local, small-batch ingredients, including at least one tincture made by Nicholas from hand-picked local plants.

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 palette of all-natural materials, including Icelandic essential oils and hand-crafted tinctures.
• Understand the differences between alcohol- and oil-based perfumes.
• Blend your own, all-natural fragrance using Icelandic materials to take home in a 10 mL bottle (written formula included).

This intimate and engaging session includes all materials and plenty of time for scent exploration and creativity. By the end, you'll walk away with a beautiful, bottled perfume, a deeper connection to Iceland’s aromatic landscape, and the knowledge to continue your fragrance journey.
