Organic essential oils and nature's own botanicals will be the ingredients of choice in this month's Holistic Perfumery workshop.

What makes a perfume holistic?

Instead of choosing scents solely for their smell alone we are picking them based on their therapeutic properties. How they make us feel in mind and body. Students will consider their individual wellness goals and find a combination of essential oils and botanicals for a truly unique perfume.

Is this recommended for people trying to avoid animal and synthetic perfumes ingredients?

Yes! People with more sensitive systems that cannot tolerate synthetic ingredients will appreciate a plant-based, natural approach to perfume, as it will help those with multiple chemical sensitivities and those avoiding hormone disruptive ingredients or animal products in their perfume.

Can I get a private consultation?

If you cannot make the class but would like to come up with a holistic perfume private consultations are available by appointment Monday through Friday.
