DIY Fragrances - Make Your Own Perfume

PERF-P

Embark on a sensory journey that deepens your connection to scents.

Through olfactive exploration, you'll learn to categorize scents and build the foundation for crafting your first perfume notes composition. Discover the elements and techniques of perfume-making using essential oils, fragrances, and absolutes, while incorporating visual arts into the creative process. Let your imagination and creativity transport you to new realms!
