Join us for a unique, hands-on class in Dalwood where you will experience the whole perfume making process!
You'll first start with a stroll through our sensory fragrant gardens, before distilling a botanical for a hydrosol room spray/body spritz and curating your very own signature scent as a parfum solide using Australian botanicals, many from the local area and even some from our farm.
Suitable for beginners, our experienced instructor, Dr. Julie, will provide step-by-step instructions and tips to help you unleash your creativity to curate scents that take you to 'your happy place'.
You will be introduced to the principles of aromatherapy so that you can apply these when crafting your perfumes to improve wellbeing, mood and more.
You will have access to more than 30 natural Australian botanicals, such as lemon myrtle, Rosalina, Fragonia, Buddha wood, Australian Sandalwood, and many from the local area, such as Byron Bay rose, pineapple myrtle and blue cypress to add to your sensory repertoire when creating your bespoke perfumes.
With an additonal 100 natural fragrances available in our studio, we'll explore the fragrance families from fresh, floral and fruity to spicy, earthy, woody and more. You will be spoilt for choice of group favourites and niche scents such as jasmine, frangipani, vanilla, rosemary, grapefruit, patchouli, clove and ginger to name a few.
Throughout the workshop, you will learn the secrets of scent layering to achieve well-balanced fragrances that suit your individual preferences.
By the end of the class, you will take home a solid perfume and hydrosol room spray/body spritz, as well as new skills to create more artisan perfumes and fragrances in the future!

What you'll get

Wherever I am in life, I notice the smell first. And wherever I go, I take my nice scents with me. I was drawn to perfumery as allows me to indulge in a sensory journey on a daily basis. Inspired by the diverse scents of the abundant natural environments of Australia, from the salty freshness of our beaches to the herbaceous pristine rainforests, to the uplifiting crisp eucalyptus bush and rustic dry powdery outback, I weave these into my artisan perfumes, fragrant beauty products and aromatic well-being remedies.
Furthermore, I have been a psychological counsellor and educator for more than 30 years, and a little like Mary Poppins, have reached into my magical bag to utilise my diverse resources to teach and counsel clients to gain a greater understanding of self, emotions, relationships, life and more. One of these has been the power of scent as a sensory journey to feel and behave the way you want rather than the way you do!
