Workshop: Introduction to Smell

Make your own Perfume

16 Haz 2019

A trained nose smells more and knows what to do. Always been interested in natural perfumes, scent compositions or the making of your own fragrance? In our newest workshop with Frank Bloem, you will learn the basics of scent-composition and perfumery. In this 3 hour intensive workshop, you are introduced to the world perfume making and the use of natural materials.

Every participant selects their own raw materials to work with and will learn how to blend these into your own perfume. At the end of the workshop, you go home with your newly gained knowledge and a 10 ml bottle of your natural fragrance.
