Exciting Workshop!

We had a wonderful time at the private botanical perfumery workshop! Deanna was passionate and explained thoroughly on how the oils are made and on scent building. There was a large variety of oils to smell and choose from to curate your scent. If you’re looking to learn and do something exciting, this will be the perfect date night or something fun to do with your friends! We would definitely do the workshop again.

Great, Intimate Class!

I had the absolute pleasure of taking a perfumery class with Deanna, and it was incredible from start to finish. The class was intimate and thoughtfully designed, creating the perfect space to explore the world of scent in a hands-on, approachable way.

Deanna is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also warm, engaging, and passionate about her craft. She guided us through the process with such enthusiasm that even the more complex elements felt accessible and fun. I walked away with a deeper appreciation for the art and science behind fragrance, as well as a custom scent that felt personal and meaningful.

Whether you’re a total beginner or just curious about the world of perfumery, I can’t recommend this class enough!

Great classes!

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!
