The environment is designed to stimulate your senses and foster creativity as you explore an array of 30 raw materials.

Exploring the Raw Materials: Essential Oils, Resins, Flowers, and Molecules

Participants are introduced to 30 different raw materials, each with its own character and story. The workshop emphasizes tactile and olfactory exploration, allowing you to smell and compare various essential oils, resins, and flower extracts.

The instrument of choice for this process is your nose, which guides you in blending these materials into a balanced scent. The expert perfumer provides insights into extraction methods and explains how different raw materials influence the final fragrance. This hands-on approach makes each perfume truly personal, reflecting your preferences and creativity.

From Raw Materials to Your Personal Fragrance

Using the knowledge gained during the session, you’ll compose your own signature scent. Guided by the expert, you’ll mix and match the raw materials, learning key concepts of perfumery along the way. The composition process is interactive, encouraging experimentation and discovery.
