FRAGRANCE MAKING WORKSHOP

We took part in a fragrance workshop with fragrance expert Karen Gilbert. We learnt about all of the vital elements that make for a bespoke fragrance. Karen taught us about mixing different notes to create a desired smell, whether it be fruity, fresh, earthy or more traditional.


"Fragrance makes us think, feel and react without ever knowing why"

In the workshop we got a chance to test lots of different notes to pick out our 5 favourite within the 3 categories: Heart, Fixtative, Accessory or a combination of 2 together. After testing the scents and deciding on what notes we wanted to combine in order to create our final fragrance, we then had to decide on how many drops of each element we wanted to add, in order to total a final number of 120 drops.

Our final notes that we decided on were Vanilla, Fruity, Naturelle, Woody and Mossy. We decided to use Naturalle and Woody as our main notes with the majority of drops and used the stronger notes such as vanilla and fruity for an added element to the fragrance in order for it to not be too overpowering or sweet/sickly.


We finally have a scent for our brand!
