The Art of Botanical Perfume

A bespoke scent experience.

BOOK HERE

Rooted in the Slow Scent® method developed by my mentor, renowned natural perfumer Mandy Aftel, this intimate workshop is an invitation to create a botanical perfume that is wholly, unmistakably your own.

In a small circle on Salt Spring Island, you will explore eighteen botanical essences. You’ll sense the subtleties of top, heart and base notes, learn the craft of blending, and discover how each essence can shift a mood, stir a memory, and draw you into the present moment. Through a process of aromatic matchmaking, you’ll find the essences that belong together.

Slow and deeply sensory, this workshop sends you home with a natural perfume you made, one that brings you back to yourself each time you wear it.

What’s included

  • Guided scent exploration and botanical education

  • Hands-on blending with botanical essences

  • A keepsake guide to the eighteen natural ingredients

  • A bespoke 10 mL botanical perfume roll-on, crafted by you

Every essence is plant-derived: essential oils, absolutes, CO₂ extracts, resins and natural isolates. No synthetics.

An introductory workshop; no experience needed.

All materials are provided.
