Join us for our July session in our Summer Series offering talks, walks and workshop on nature, growing and ecology. Come and discover the origins of perfumery and the remarkable role of aromatic plants and their oils in this immersive short workshop with Tanya Moulding, aka The Perfume Mistress.
Lavender, Lemon; Rosemary; Thyme; Rose; Jasmine; Orange and Clove are familiar plants and fragrances to many. Modern day perfumery can trace its origins from humble beginnings; a simple burning of resin incense, the strewing of herbs, a splash of floral water or the scent of a pomander ball. Plants have been used in many forms since antiquity, to fragrance the air, combat ‘mal-odours’, to anoint, cleanse, beautify and to stir the senses.
Enjoy a hands-on, interactive session embracing the theory and creative art of botanical perfumery, you will:
• Learn about the origins and history of perfume from Cleopatra to Chanel
• Understand perfume vocabulary – the art of smelling and training the nose
• Perfume structure – Top, Middle, Base notes
• Fragrance classifications
• Secrets of blending essential oils & dilutions, safety and storage.
This talk will take place at the Pavilion at Vine Road Rec.
