What It Is

Aromatherapy perfume making is the art of blending essential oils into a wearable fragrance with intention. Instead of choosing a scent off a shelf, you build one from scratch by combining top, middle, and base notes to create balance, depth, and lasting character.

In this workshop, you will learn how notes work together, how to test and refine a blend, and how to turn it into a finished perfume you can wear. The experience is calming, sensory, and personal, with a clear structure that makes it easy for beginners to succeed.

I love the workshop. I had so much fun, I even created my own perfume 😊 …

Shakara Reed

My Husband brought me as a surprise for my birthday to make perfume scents and i absolutely loved it. Kadir was very welcoming and professional. All instructions were given to us very clearly and we were given space to really create. I would definitely recommend coming here especially if you need some creative inspiration or a new outlet.

Ernest Omondi

I absolutely loved the Perfume Making class. What a treat! Kadir is really warm and welcoming and immediately made us feel at home. He was very helpful in guiding us to discover our own unique personal scents and provided a lot of helpful tips along the way. I highly recommend the class to anyone who wants to explore different scents and discover what they like and what they don’t like!

Kadir was an amazing instructor! We had a wonderful time creating different scents. The energy and place is beautiful, wholesome and amazing. I would love to bring more of my friends here. If you are a beginner (like me) - give your perfume time, it gets better, I swear 😄♥️ …
