Just in time for Valentine’s Day! Join us for a unique natural perfume workshop at the Wildling Museum, led by artisan perfumer and owner of Sol Aromatics, Susan Farber, MFT.

Attendees are invited to learn about the dynamics of natural perfume and will discover how to intertwine scents with their own personal body chemistry. Participants will use oils extracted from ylang ylang, chocolate, jasmine, rose, sandalwood, and vanilla to imbue feelings of romance to create their own custom Valentine’s Day fragrance.

Workshop fee includes:

  • Personalized guidance in blending oils and creating a custom perfume, as well as information about perfume structure and formulation.

  • Scent games that connect smell with emotions, images, and memories.

  • An interactive and educational discussion on a variety of essential oils and absolutes sourced from around the world.

  • A custom-made fragrance and take-home guide on the procurement process.

As a reminder – participants should not wear any perfumes to the class as they will distract from the perfume-making process.
