Natural Perfumery workshop in France - Discovery or Improvement

L'Atelier de Parfumerie naturel proposes you a personalized moment of apprenticeship, in english, via les ateliers parfum des Parfumeurs Amateurs.

This workshop lasts 4h00, but it is recommended to anticipate 1 hour more.

L'Atelier de Parfumerie naturelle is a studio of perfumes located in the center of La Tour-du-Pin, Dauphiné.

La Tour-du-Pin is a small city between Lyon, Chambéry and Grenoble - France, and benefits from a rail station. Time usually taken by the train : 35-45 mn. There is also a highway exit.

Because each session asks for a preparation, we ask you to precise the olfactive theme you are interested in, in order to select the raw materials that we will focus on.

These short descriptions can help you making your choice.

• Amber natural perfumes are made of sweet, balsamic and addictive basenotes. Their olfactive common point resides in the use of vanilla, blended with labdanum absolute (containing leathery notes) and balsams as benzoin, or Peru balsam…
• Oriental perfume exhalations are known for their richness and their strong personality. Spiced notes, added to patchouli, blended with vanilla notes or sandalwood, provide to the heart notes (often precious flowers) a particularly bewitching character.
• Woody natural perfumes contain a very wide range of scents, because of the diversity of the raw materials entering in their composition. Roots, mosses, branches, twigs and leaves, needles, trunks, barks, sap : these words already evocate the beginning of this poetic travel…
• Chypre natural perfumes make reference to a specific olfactive accord, implemented by the French perfumer François Coty in 1917, in a perfume called “Le Chypre”. This accord, conciliating oakmoss, labdanum, patchouli (and bergamote), let its mark on the XXth century’s perfumes.
• The eau de Cologne has also its own history, which makes us travel through Europe during several centuries. Thanks to the sparkling notes of citruses, and to the freshness of its aromatic notes, the eau de Cologne is today still considered as a good and light mood supplier.
• Floral natural perfumes use noble and precious raw materials such as rose absolute, neroli, jasmine absolute, ylang extra essential oil, Bcious aromasourbon geranium essential oil, iris absolute… A lot of combinations are possible with other natural ingredients, let them awake your imagination...
• Fougère : an olfactive family containing a majority of masculine perfumes, combining aromatic notes and deep woody hay undertones.
• The fruity and gourmand facets have been conquering our noses for the last 30 years with their delicious aromas !

You can also quote the names of commercial perfumes you like, or the scents of everydaylife you appreciate during our conversation.

How it works ?

Our workshops last half a day and begin with an introduction to the natural perfumery art.

This moment is followed by the olfactive discovery of the raw materials selected for the theme chosen by the apprentice.

Then, the apprentice tries to create his/her own, Eau de Toilette (15 mL) using some of the raw materials smelt previously.
