This advanced workshop is a deeper dive into blending than our beginners workshop. Instead of 7 notes, we will be working with 19. Beginners are welcome as well.
Our first hour will be a guided natural note smelling & discussion session using tinctures and oils associated with the floral and herbal growth in Oregon, along the west coast and all of our 19 notes including materials from around the world. This guided session will use scent strips as we move through an array of tinctures and oils.
In the second & third hour, we will review the delicate process of blending, measuring, dilution and creating your own perfume blend choosing top, middle and base notes. From the 17 essential oils and 2 tinctures you will choose a total of 6 notes to begin your blending. You will have plenty of time to blend your formulas, test, blend again and then make your 10ml of perfume.
If you are a beginner and want to take this workshop, I will teach you the steps to blending so that you are up to speed.
You will walk away with 10ml. of a unique blend and the skills to create more blends in your own home. cost of workshop includes materials.
Workshops are held in the Hīkishémé perfume lab.
