Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of fragrance layering! In this special workshop, we will first learn about the basic fragrance families and notes before becoming layering pros in a speed dating format: we will create new fragrance profiles using niche fragrances, molecular fragrances and individual notes. We will be given an introduction to the world of perfumes and valuable tips on how to build our own fragrance wardrobe and use it specifically for different moods and occasions.
Please do not wear any perfume to the workshop.
