Make Your Own Perfume Day Course - an ideal gift !

Alec Lawless

Perfumer, Alec Lawless, developed Essentially Me's range of sophisticated perfumes from his passion for natural fragrance. A trained Jungian psychotherapist, Alec has spent more than 20 years sourcing oils for his successful essential oils business, Aqua Oleum. This, combined with his love of good food and wine, naturally led him to spend many years blending perfumes & developing a range of perfume-making supplies.

Alec also provides a bespoke perfume creation service for private clients, boutiques & spas, as well as teaching a range of perfumery courses.

His book, "Artisan Perfumery or Being Led by the Nose" was published last year. He has also appeared in Natural Health Magazine, Cotswold Life & BBC Radio Gloucestershire. Alec will shortly appear in a TV documentary on Victorian Pharmacy.

Spend a day with perfumer Alec learning how to blend a perfume using natural aromatics, finishing with a bottle of perfume to take home.

The day starts with an introduction to the history of natural perfumery and the beautiful aromatics that we will be working with. Alec Lawless then guides you to in creating top, middle and base notes for your unique fragrance.

You will work with 24 natural aromatic blends, specially created by Alec to allow you to create a range of traditional perfumery styles, from classic Florals like Rose, Jasmine and Lavender, to exotic Chypres, Spices, Woods and Herbs.

Once your formula is complete, Alec will make up your perfume in a 56ml Italian Flint Glass Bottle with personalised label. He will keep the formula, so if you want to reorder you can do so at any time.

Materials Cost £45 to be paid on the day.

Please inform us if you have any known allergies to essential oils or other aromatics.
