Perfume Workshop – Level 1 Foundations of Natural Perfumery Step into the world of scent creation and experience the art of natural perfumery first-hand.This workshop is your entry point into the craft, designed for fragrance lovers, creatives, and anyone curious about building a perfume from the ground up. At Hangar South, we believe in the beauty of slow, intentional learning — that’s why our sessions are intimate, hands-on, and free of time pressure. ⸻ What You Will Learn • The Olfactory Pyramid: Understand how top, heart, and base notes work together to create balance and harmony in a fragrance.• The Language of Naturals: Explore a curated palette of essential oils and botanical extracts — from bright citruses and green herbs to deep resins and woods.

Our expert perfumers will guide you through exercises that gradually build your confidence in composing scents.• Perfumery as Self-Expression: Discover how fragrance can mirror personality, memory, or emotion — and how your own creation can tell a story that is uniquely yours. ⸻ Hands-On Creation This is where the magic happens. With your palette of 100% natural ingredients, you will: • Experiment with combinations in guided trials. • Learn to balance freshness, floralcy, and depth. • Create your very own signature fragrance under the close support of our atelier team.
