HERBAL INCENSE & SPRAYS Private Workshop
Immerse yourself in the captivating aromas of some of nature's most precious plants. Learn how to craft incense cones entirely from botanical ingredients and roll your own set of cones, then make a space + body spray with Hawai'i distilled hydrosols.
Workshops take 1.5 - 2 hours and can be booked for the afternoon or early evening every day of the week.
Please text Deanna at 808-214-9297 or email team@indigoelixirs.com to inquire about workshop availability. We can confirm your time and date prior to booking.
If you'd like to book for a group larger than 6, please reach out to us directly. We can also bring the workshop to you (or your event) ~ see details here.
First we'll go over the process of making incense dough and rolling cones by hand. Participants will get to work with Royal Hawaiian Sandalwood, Rose petals & local hydrosols to create approximately 8 hand rolled incense cones.
Then we'll explore the two types of distillate products ~ hydrosols & essential oils ~ and their healing benefits. Choose amongst a wide variety of aromas to brew up a custom aromatherapeutic mist that you can use to refresh yourself & your space.
All natural ingredients, vessels & labels will be provided to take home a 2 oz tin of incense cones and 1 oz bottle of spray, as well as a detailed handout.
Private workshops are held at the Indigo Elixirs apothecary in a private residence near Woodlawn Drive, Mānoa, Honolulu. Ample street parking is available and we are just a few minutes walk (up a small hill) from a #6 bus stop. Address & arrival info will be emailed after purchase.

I’ve taken three of Deanna’s classes and the incense and body oil one is super fun. You get to learn the technical stuff but also a little about scent building. If you want an in-depth scent building class I highly suggest the perfumery class. If you want to go further into turning oils into salves then I recommend the salves workshop. Any one you choose to enroll in, you’ll have a ton of fun!
This class was exactly what I've been wanting so I can make my own scents. Deanna is super knowledgeable about the subject and made the class fun and interactive. I would definitely take another class from her again!
The private workshop that Deanna ran was so much fun. I knew very little about plant extracts and oils, and Deanna was extremely knowledgeable of each oil, and showing us the process in which they are extracted from the plants. I highly suggest Deannas class if you are on Oahu for a few days and want something unique to do!
This was a fantastic experience! Deanna did a wonderful job educating us and making sure we picked scents that we liked. I would definitely recommend trying it! We loved the scents we got to take home and her product line items were also amazing! All around wonderful experience!
