Perfume Workshop - Level 1

Perfume Workshop – Level 1

Foundations of Natural Perfumery

Step into the world of scent creation and experience the art of natural perfumery first-hand.
This workshop is your entry point into the craft, designed for fragrance lovers, creatives, and anyone curious about building a perfume from the ground up. At Hangar South, we believe in the beauty of slow, intentional learning — that’s why our sessions are intimate, hands-on, and free of time pressure.

What You Will Learn

• The Olfactory Pyramid: Understand how top, heart, and base notes work together to create balance and harmony in a fragrance.
• The Language of Naturals: Explore a curated palette of essential oils and botanical extracts — from bright citruses and green herbs to deep resins and woods. Learn how each carries its own character, emotion, and history.
• Blending Techniques: Practice layering essences to achieve depth, proportion, and individuality. Our expert perfumers will guide you through exercises that gradually build your confidence in composing scents.
• Perfumery as Self-Expression: Discover how fragrance can mirror personality, memory, or emotion — and how your own creation can tell a story that is uniquely yours.

Hands-On Creation

This is where the magic happens. With your palette of 100% natural ingredients, you will:
    •    Experiment with combinations in guided trials.
    •    Learn to balance freshness, floralcy, and depth.
    •    Create your very own signature fragrance under the close support of our atelier team.

Every formula is carefully recorded in our archives, so you can reorder your perfume anytime.

Your Exclusive Takeaway

Each participant leaves with:
    •    An 11 ml eau de parfum (perfect for personal use, portable and elegant) – or –
    •    A 60 ml eau de parfum (full-size, hand-bottled at our atelier).

Both options include your unique formula, preserved for future reorders or adjustments.
