    Workshop

Lavender, lemon, rosemary, thyme, rose, jasmine, orange and clove are familiar plants and fragrances. Plants have been used in many forms since antiquity to fragrance the air, combat ‘mal-odours’, to anoint, cleanse, beautify and to stir the senses.

Come and discover the origins of perfumery and the remarkable role of aromatic plants and their oils in this immersive one-day workshop with tutor Tanya Moulding.

Enjoy a hands-on, interactive day embracing the theory and creative art of botanical perfumery, and
• Learn about the origins and history of perfume from Cleopatra to Chanel
• Understand perfume vocabulary – the art of smelling and training the nose
• Perfume structure – top, middle and base notes
• Understand fragrance classifications
• The secrets of blending essential oils and dilutions, safety and storage

Tutor: Tanya Moulding
