BOTANICAL PERFUMERY Private Workshop
Dive into the world of coveted plant extracts and discover how they interact with our bodies, through both a physiological/herbalism & emotional/aromatherapy lens. We'll explore a vast collection of over 30 botanical scents from the herbalist's personal collection of essential oils, resins & absolutes.
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.
This reservation is for a minimum of 2 people ~ contact us for a solo perfume session rate. For groups of 4 or more, use the code perfumeparty for 10% off the total.
All materials will be provided to make a 10ml roller of an oil blend that can be used as a perfume, beauty oil or topical medicinal. This includes locally grown cold-pressed oils that will serve as the base and a glass vessel.
We will be working exclusively with pure plant extracts; our collection of both beloved & rare aromatics provide a vast range to suit everyone's personal tastes.
We'll also discuss different types of aromatic extraction as well as the foundations of building scents for perfumery.
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.
Workshops are led by Deanna Rose Ahigian, L.Ac & Dipl.OM, the founder of Indigo Elixirs and licensed clinical herbalist. Deanna has spent over a decade immersed in botanical formulation & advanced herbal medicine, and is passionate about working with local flora to create formulations imbued with healing & beauty.
Customer Reviews
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!
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!
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!
