Workshops

Perfume Workshop – Create your own scent

Scent is a storyteller of experiences that need no words.

In this workshop, you will discover how and why fragrances touch you, evoke memories, and influence your emotions.

Step by step, I guide you in “listening” to scents and learning how to blend them, working with pure plant extracts and essential oils.

Between blending, I share stories, knowledge, and experiences. You will explore your own scent palette and fragrance personality, gradually bringing your unique perfume to life – each drop telling a story, and the composition as a whole evoking a special feeling.

Three hours together at the table, attentive and creative. For groups from six participants, on location – €75 per person. Call or email to arrange your session.

A perfume is enchanting and gives you wings. It enhances your personality when it subtly floats through the air.

Capturing scents – Distilling plant material

Harvesting, distilling and creating.

This outdoor workshop is all about observing, experimenting, and discovering the impact of scent on your senses.

Together, we will distil plant material in my copper still. Water, fire, air, and earth come together to bring forth the fifth element – ether, the essence.

Open all your senses and experience the power of fragrance. See here for more inspiration.

“Distilling is simply separating the pure from the impure, without making it more beautiful than it already is in its essence "

Beyond the Scent – A Fragrant Experience Day

A delightful day of creative discovery.

Scents from Mother Nature are so much more than just “nice smells”. They are the purest and most concentrated essences of plants, each with its own story and unique power. An essence so pure and rich in healing and nourishing qualities that it can support us physically, emotionally and spiritually

During this day, I introduce you to products from Mother Nature – essential oils, hydrosols, and carrier oils. You will learn what they are, how they are produced, and how to use them safely at home in your daily life.

A day full of experiences, sensory moments, and learning opportunities, culminating in a beautifully scented wellness package to take home.

This experience is offered in collaboration with Magical Naturals. For full information, please visit their website.

Smelling plants is a connection between two souls; with an open heart, we can receive the scent and listen to its “story” to discover what it has to offer us.

Masterclasses

Masterclass all about lavender

In a beautiful natural area in the north of the Netherlands, we will harvest lavender together and distil it into essential oil and hydrosol in my traditional copper still.

You will be fully immersed in a world where lavender is more than just a plant. Discover and experience moments of serenity in everyday life, and connect with the simplicity and beauty of Mother Nature.
