This immersive workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of fragrance blending, including structure, materials, and technique. Students will work with a wide range of professional-grade botanical extracts and natural isolates. As a group, we will harvest plant material and distill a forest hydrosol on Pilchuck’s beautiful tree farm campus. Each student will leave with an 8 ml glass bottle of their own unique, alcohol-based perfume.

No experience required. Lunch will be provided in Pilchuck's historic lodge.

Participants age 14+ are welcome. Parents or guardians must sign up alongside participants under the age of 18.
