Celebrate Valentine’s Day by creating your own signature scent with this fragrance-making class in Atladena that can also travel to you! In this hands on perfume-making workshop, you’ll explore the art of fragrance blending and craft a custom perfume from start to finish.
Led by an experienced perfumer, you’ll begin by uncovering the ABCs of perfumery, from understanding fragrance families to identifying scent notes. Next, you’ll learn how to create a scent story, blending top, heart, and base notes that reflect your unique personality. Once your fragrance is perfectly balanced, you’ll move on to the blending and bottling process, preparing your custom creation to take home. The class ends with a show and tell, where everyone shares their finished scent and the inspiration behind it.
Personal scents are deeply intimate, making this a wonderful Valentine’s Day date idea. You and your loved one can create or gift fragrances that capture your connection and remind you of the experience you shared. Using citrus, floral, or woody notes, you’ll have endless possibilities to explore, discovering blends that reflect both your personalities. All tools and materials are provided, just bring your curiosity (and your Valentine or Galentine) and let your nose lead the way!

FAQ

Will I get to take home the scent I make?
Yes! Plus I will save the formula so if you ever want to buy more, I have it on hand.
What if I'm allergic to something?
Please let me know and I will make sure not to use that material in class.
Are your materials natural?
I use a mix of natural and synthetic materials, which is customary in perfumery. Synthetics aren't bad, they are often just isolated molecules found in natural materials. There is a reason we aren't using the anal secretions from a male musk deer, because why commit animal cruelty when we can synthesize musk in a lab?

What if i've never made a perfume before?
Don't worry! I'll teach you everything you need to know.

  • 5/5 from Marcus Meurling, attended Feb 2026: It was fun learning about the building blocks of making perfume and then creating a unique perfume in a supportive environment. We loved our perfumes we made and would do it again.

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.
