Natural Perfumery

This immersive workshop will introduce participants to fragrance blending techniques, structure, and materials. Students will work with a wide range of professional grade botanical essences and as a group, we will harvest and distill our own forest hydrosol on the beautiful Pilchuck campus tree farm. Each student will leave with an 8ml glass bottle of their own unique alcohol-based perfume.

No previous experience is necessary. This workshop will includes lunch in our historic dining lodge.
