Hi, I’m Rachel, and I’ve always been fascinated by scent—especially the strange, sometimes “gross” materials that make up the backbone of perfumery (like the anal secretions of a male musk deer!). I started perfuming as a hobby, drawn in by the history and complexity of it all, but eventually I got sucked into taking class after class. After graduating from the professional-level workshop at The Perfumer’s Studio in Hollywood, I launched Bodi Botanica—a small perfume studio rooted in the foothills of Altadena.
I love teaching because it’s collaborative, playful, and full of surprises. I'm also always learning. Watching someone blend scents I would never have thought to—or get totally obsessed with a material they never expected to love—is a blast. My workshops are about exploration and self-expression. You don’t need any experience, just curiosity and a nose.
Since launching Bodi Botanica, I’ve been teaching small-group perfuming workshops with a focus on fun! I’ve also developed custom scents for a variety of customers. My goal is to demystify perfume and invite more people into the wild, weird, and wonderful world of scent.
Let’s make something beautiful—and maybe a little kooky—together.
