During this perfume making workshop in Sydney, you'll learn about and make your own botanical perfume.
Botanical perfumery differs a little from modern commercial perfumery as we work solely with essential oils, absolutes, resins, botanical extracts and natural isolates to create our perfumes. The richness and complexity of these ingredients mean that we need to be mindful as we choose our ingredients and layer them to create a botanical work of art. Botanical raw materials are also very luxurious as the amount of plant material we need to produce them is very high. This can make them extremely costly to work with.
In this workshop, you will learn the following:
  • How botanical ingredients are transformed into the extracts we use in perfumery.
  • The fragrance families of botanical ingredients.
  • How a perfumer works to build their olfactive memory and palette.
  • The facets in each raw material that can give you inspiration in perfumery.
  • How to assess quality in natural raw materials.
  • How to compose a beautiful natural perfume.
After a refreshing break, you will then make a fragrance that is uniquely yours to take home. Each person will take home a 15mL perfume in either an oil or atomizer format.
My teaching focus is on collaboration and nurturing your creativity and confidence. I like to take extra care that each person feels happy with their scent. You will come away with new ideas and lots of knowledge, as well as confidence and inspiration to keep exploring the beautiful world of fragrance. This workshop is suitable for both beginners and experienced perfume lovers as I tailor the workshop to each person in the group so that everyone feels looked after.
