(Scent) | Perfume - Cologne Workshop
Embark on a sensory journey of scent discovery for 2 hours. Discover unique fragrances from Bend, the PNW, west coast and around the world. The aromatic blends will be inspired by the shifting light of the Fall and Winter Equinox. Together we will work with pure botanicals, resins, woods and spices, crafting scents that mirror the earth’s transition into its cooler, more contemplative seasons.
We also discuss moments where our memories are sparked by scents and how to transform our own signature scent into a future memory.
- Learn the art of natural perfumery from selecting botanical materials to balance your blend.
- Explore the seasonal palette: rich woods, grounding mosses, warming spices and crisp citrus.
- Blend your own personal perfume/cologne to take home - a scent as unique as your own seasonal journey.
- Connect with ritual, memory, and the rhythms of the natural world.
No prior experience is needed - just curiosity and a love of scent. All materials are provided, and you will leave with your custom creation in a 7ml. bottle.
When you book your workshop, I'll send you a list of notes to choose from for the session. I'm also very open to any note suggestions you might have!
You can book these at your preferred location (we will bring the workshop to you) or in our perfume lab located here in Bend.

Home Diffusion Workshop
In this workshop you will create a 1-ounce custom diffusion for your home. Join me for a 2-hour diffusion blending workshop where you'll experience a journey of scent exploration. Discover unique fragrances from Bend, the PNW, west coast and around the world. We discuss moments where our memories are sparked by scents and how to bring a custom scent with a purpose to our homes.
Our first hour is a guided note smelling & discussion session using tinctures and oils associated with floral, herbal and bark growth. This guided session will use scent strips as we move through an array of tinctures and oils.
From there, I will teach you the delicate process of blending, and creating your own diffusion choosing among earthy, citrus and flower notes. You will have plenty of time to blend your formulas, test, blend again and then make your 1-ounce of diffusion to take home.

I began studying the art of perfumery in 2018 and have continued my education in the field ever since. My training focuses on the art of blending notes derived from various natural elements, such as bark, resin, flowers, moss, and herbs.
I apply this expertise to create unique private workshops and events tailored for you.

Fathers and sons often bond over blending notes together, and these workshops have become quite popular with that group. Scent is a natural fit for this younger generation, and their fathers support the experience.
Additionally, I have seen these workshops become a popular choice for men’s team building. It offers a unique balance of an individual and collaborative experience, covering both the scientific and spiritual aspects of scent.
