Aftelier Perfumes

My zoom perfume class: I show 4 essences that lock with Geranium — it has so many facets! We find out the various directions that you can go in by smelling Geranium paired with Lime, Cypress, Apple, and Rose.

“Got plans for Thursday, April 23rd? Spend the evening learning to make natural perfume!

The MAC is hosting me for a Slow Scent® Natural Perfume Basic Class. This introductory class was developed by renowned natural perfumer Mandy Aftel and is taught around the world by her students.

We’ll explore 18 natural essences and a system for blending them in an informed and intentional way.

You’ll create your own blend to take home, in a base of fractionated coconut oil and packaged in a rollerball bottle.

The concepts you’ll be introduced to can be useful in other endeavors involving scent (e.g., candles, soap) and even in cooking.

Thursday, April 23rd
6:00 to 8:30 pm
$60/student (materials included)

Reserve your spot at monartscenter.com “Classes and Events”.

Best for adults and for children who are interested in learning.”
