Perfume Making with SYD Botanica

Perfume Making with SYD Botanica

Create your own signature scent! Join us for this two hour workshop where you'll learn the foundational basics of perfumery composition and blend your own original fragrance with perfumer Syd Buffman.

Our five senses define the very edges of human consciousness and experience. Of all our senses, smell has the most direct pathway to the brain and can tap into deep emotion and memory. Like poetry, fragrance can transport you to another time and place in an instant. Through scent you can change your reality.

Syd Buffman is a perfumer and interdisciplinary artist in Los Angeles. She has a background in design, perfumery, incense making, alchemy and herbalism. Her creative work is influenced by the poetry of nature, transformation, and emotions. @sydbotanica
