There are moments when coming together means making room for beauty, connection and a little breathing space.
Natural aromatic materials can become a shared experience: a sensory, hands-on way to celebrate an occasion, reconnect and enjoy time together—with something personal to take home.
I offer botanical perfume workshops and private experiences for small groups, from birthdays and special gatherings to weddings and corporate events.
Each experience brings together scent, storytelling and the pleasure of creating. There is time to explore, discover and compose, with aromatic materials becoming a shared language.
You bring the people and the occasion. I bring the materials, guidance and care that make the experience possible.
The experiences
Create your own botanical perfume
A guided workshop for anyone who would like to explore botanical perfumery and create a personal fragrance to take home.
Together, we discover a selection of natural essences: citrus, flowers, woods, herbs, spices and green notes. I guide each participant step by step, helping them choose the scents they are drawn to and combine them into a simple, individual composition.
At the end of the workshop, each guest takes home their own perfume in a spray bottle.
A perfume station for weddings and celebrations
A drop-in perfume experience that becomes part of your celebration—during the aperitivo, a reception or a private party.
Guests visit the station at their own pace. Each person chooses from a selection of botanical perfume bases I prepare in advance, then adds their own touch with individual natural essences, guided by me.
The experience takes just a few minutes per guest and leaves them with a personal fragrance to take home: a keepsake of the occasion that they have helped create.
Bottles and presentation can be agreed in advance, with options including small fabric pouches, inspirational cards and personalised name tags.
Locations
At your chosen venue in Italy
Private villas, country houses, lakeside venues and corporate spaces can all host an olfactory experience. I bring the aromatic materials, equipment and everything needed for perfume creation.
I am based in Trieste and travel by arrangement, particularly to Lombardy—including Milan, Lake Como and Lake Maggiore—and Rome. Other locations can be discussed.
The experience can take place indoors or outdoors, provided there is a suitable area sheltered from wind and direct sunlight. Practical arrangements are agreed with you and your venue or event planner.
Duration and group size
Guided workshops usually last around two hours and are designed for groups of approximately 10–25 people.
Drop-in perfume stations are arranged around the timing of your event and can accommodate larger groups, with guest numbers and service duration agreed in advance.
Each experience is tailored to the group, the setting and the season.
