About this Event
Step into a world of timeless fragrance traditions in this hands-on solid perfume DIY workshop. Inspired by classical East Asian scent culture, you’ll explore how essential oils can be blended with natural wax to create solid perfume, learning a fragrance-making method that differs from standard candle-making practices.
What is solid perfume?
Solid perfume is a wax-based, alcohol-free fragrance applied directly to the skin. Long valued in traditional Asian scent practices, it is gentle, portable, and ideal for everyday wear or travel.
How to use it:
Warm the surface with your fingertip and apply to pulse points such as the wrists, neck, or behind the ears. The scent develops softly and stays subtle and intimate rather than strong or overpowering.
During the workshop, you will:
- Explore notes inspired by classical traditions alongside modern notes such as rose
- Each participant will make and take home two solid perfumes in ceramic containers.
- Blend and create your own personalized solid perfume
No prior experience is required. This workshop is perfect for those interested in traditional Asian culture, niche fragrance, slow living, and hands-on creative experiences.
Special Notes
