Mother’s Day Natural Perfume-Making Workshop
On May 11, 2019 this class was to design an artisanal fragrance with your mom, for your mom, or simply pay homage to Mother Earth. This natural perfume-making workshop awakened the sensorial creativity and stimulated olfactory memory. Our olfactory system, or sense of smell, is linked to memories. Participants created your very own liquid-based fragrance from a carefully curated selection of essential oils, while creating a lasting memory that could be relived every time you or your mother dons the perfume.
“A remembered smell spills into consciousness baskets full of … memories and the feelings entwined with them, permeating the emotional aura of the memories with a richness that is both exquisite and vague.” from Essence and Alchemy, by Mandy Aftel
