Natural Perfumes for Emotional and Physical Well-Being

Perfume you compose is different: it carries your intention, and it works on more than the nose. Karen teaches the structure, top, middle, and base, introduces rare materials like saffron attar and wild green vetiver, and builds five finished pieces with you, from Quiet Bloom to Golden Radiance.

About this course

Scent has always been more than a fragrance.
It is memory, emotion, presence, and healing—all carried in a breath.

In this1.5+ hour workshop, you’ll learn how to create therapeutic natural perfumes using essential oils, attars, and absolutes. These perfumes are made with natural plant extracts such as essential oils, absolutes, and attars. They're everyday tools to support your nervous system, lift your mood, and help you feel more grounded and present.

You’ll create five intentional blends, each designed to care for both the emotional and physical body and will have recipes for more perfume blends!

Whether you’re drawn to scent as a practitioner, a creator, or someone seeking a deeper way to connect with nature, this workshop offers a grounded, beautiful introduction to the art of botanical perfumery.

If you have wondered…

This course answers the questions you keep asking.

What makes a perfume natural, versus a synthetic fragrance?
How do top, middle, and base notes actually work?

What you'll make

Real remedies you'll blend, the same day.

As an introduction to natural perfumery it was very good. I was intrigued and would like to know more. As in aromatherapy, start basic, then dig deeper. Practically speaking there is only so much information that can be shared in the time allotted.

I loved it: the print-outs and downloads I can save; the gorgeous recipes I can bounce ideas off of, and the tips/tricks of simple perfuming!

I thoroughly enjoyed the workshop! As someone who is allergic to synthetic perfumes, I typically avoid wearing any fragrance. However, this workshop gave me the perfect opportunity to create my own perfumes without risking an allergic reaction.
