Recent reviews of Custom Perfume Making Class
- 5/5 from Belinda Broughton, attended Oct 2026: Our teacher was super, friendly, and very informative and we all bonded really well. I found the time so interesting and as we started to find "our scent and story" it became quite emotional. A thoroughy enjoyable time and I will be spreading the word.
- 5/5 from Cameron McClure, attended Aug 2026: My wife and I did the private class for our 4 year anniversary and we had a wonderful time! Learned a lot about perfume and scent making, and had a a lot of fun making our own signature scent to take home with us! Highly recommend to anyone wanting a fun day out with their partner/family member or just a nice memory with friends!
- 5/5 from Lashan Lashan, attended May 2026: Rachel’s a Fantastic inspiration and instructor in this Perfume Game!!! She walks you through every step with ease and assurance. I will be sure to book another session such a beautiful way to spend Mother’s Day
- 5/5 from Tammi O, attended Apr 2026: Amazing class, so fun and instructor is very knowledgeable. Highly recommend
- 5/5 from Andrew Kim, attended Dec 2025: This was a memory that will last me and my Fiance for our entire life time. I booked a private session and planned a proposal here and the experience was truly memorable. Starting from the thoughtful scent introduction which interested the both of us, to making scent for each other finishing with the proposal, it was absolutely a beautiful day.
- 5/5 from Ciana Ruidas, attended Nov 2025: This class was such a unique experience! Rachel really knows her craft and walks you through everything — from understanding different fragrance notes to building your own scent story. You get to smell, blend, and experiment with a ton of beautiful oils, and all the tools are provided so you can just relax and enjoy the process. We had no experience with perfumery before hand. By the end, you leave with a custom perfume that you blended yourself, which makes the whole experience feel so personal and special. I love my “Summer Brunch” perfume!!
- 5/5 from Alicia Racine Fink, attended Nov 2025: Class was lovel, fun and informative. Booked a custom private because I liked it so much.
- 5/5 from Matt Amsden, attended Jun 2025: Rachael was very kind and knowledgable.
Your teacher
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.
