Step into the world of natural perfumery with this hands-on workshop, inspired by the Shaker tradition of using botanicals for both beauty and well-being. The Shakers have cultivated fragrant herbs such as lavender, lemon balm, and rosemary, using them for medicine, freshening linens, and crafting herbal sachets, and they continue these traditions today.

In this class with Kristin Mutchler of Pickle’s Potions of Winthrop, ME, you’ll explore the foundations of natural scent blending, including essential oil safety, top/middle/base notes, and how to create a balanced fragrance.

Using high-quality essential oils, you’ll craft your own custom roll-on perfume. Whether you seek an uplifting, calming, or grounding scent, this workshop will guide you in blending botanical aromas with intention. You’ll leave with a handcrafted fragrance and the knowledge to continue exploring natural perfumery at home.

Kristin Mutchler is the founder and formulator of Pickle’s Potions, an award-winning natural skincare brand based in Maine.
