We work with fragrance materials to recognised industry standards, and the workshop follows the usual precautions for handling perfume. You're welcome to take part without applying anything to your skin. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a known fragrance sensitivity, let us know when you book and we'll advise you on the best way to take part. If you have a specific medical concern, check with your doctor.

Not at all. This is a hands-on fragrance workshop, designed for complete beginners. You don't need to know your notes, ingredients or fragrance families. We'll guide you through the process and explain what you need to know as you go.

It's an additional layer to the fragrance-making process. We use sound and frequency as part of the experience to help you focus on how a fragrance feels, rather than simply asking what smells "nice". You're still doing what you'd expect in a perfume workshop: smelling, comparing, choosing and blending.

The frequency is a starting point, not a rule. Your session gives you a direction, and you'll have the opportunity to smell, compare and adjust along the way. Your facilitator will help if you're between two options. The finished fragrance is ultimately your choice.

No. Skin application is optional throughout the workshop. You can evaluate and build your fragrance using blotters, and only apply it to your skin if you want to.

Of course. The result is a starting point for the session, not a prescription. The workshop is about making a fragrance that feels right to you, with guidance from the facilitator.

Yes. Private sessions are available for groups of 2–6, with larger groups possible by arrangement. Corporate and private events can also be organised separately.

Whatever you're comfortable in. You'll be working with perfume ingredients, so we recommend avoiding your favourite delicate clothing. Standard precautions for handling fragrance materials apply during the workshop.

Tell us when you book. We can explain how to take part while minimising direct exposure, including evaluating fragrances without applying them to skin. If you have a significant or medically diagnosed sensitivity, please check with your doctor before attending.

You'll have plenty of guidance during the process, and the workshop is designed to let you make decisions as you go. Your facilitator will help you refine your blend before you bottle it.

Let us know as early as possible and we'll do our best to move you to another available session.

No. You don't need to subscribe to any particular theory. Think of the frequency element as a different way into the fragrance-making process. You can simply enjoy the experience, make your perfume and see what you think.
