Botanical Perfumery

How do you get the scents of the earth into a bottle? What is a top, middle, or base note botanically? In this workshop, participants will learn the basics of making botanical perfumes and wildcrafting their own seasonal ingredients. We’ll cover carrier oils, infusions, sourcing essential oils, and making blends. This workshop will also lean into some traditional plants that have been utilized in the autumn season, and scents that have been utilized to connect with the spirit world and our ancestors historically. Each participant will leave with their own roller and spritz!

This workshop will take place on the 2nd floor space of The Pod at Frinklepod, which is accessible by a staircase.
