FULL: Slow Scent® Natural Perfumery Workshop

CLASS IS FULL: REGISTER TO BE ADDED TO A NOTIFICATION LIST TO HEAR OF OPENINGS

Learn the foundations and techniques of natural perfumery using the Slow Scent® method, developed by renowned perfumer Mandy Aftel.

Jessica Mennella, trained by Aftel, will be your instructor for this hands-on, interactive class. During the workshop, you will explore 18 botanicals whose scents are directly linked to the plants and flowers from which they are derived. You will also learn the fundamental structure of Slow Scent® natural perfume formulation and blending techniques.

By the end of the workshop, you will have created your own signature perfume using the formula you developed in class. Additionally, you will receive a guide to the process of making natural perfumes. The art of natural perfumery is rooted in the beauty of botanical materials, and among our senses, scent has the power to instantly transform mood and experience.

Come perfume in the gardens and discover how scent can transport you to another place and time. Whether you are new to natural perfumery or have attended previous workshops, you are welcome to join us!

No prior experience is necessary, and all materials will be provided.
