Description

Have you ever wondered what raw fragrance materials smell like, or wanted to see the perfume-making process from start to finish? If so, you're in luck! Join us at The Perfume House on September 5th from 7:30-9:30 for an educational course in fragrance creation. Our guest speaker and host for the evening will be Amy Bryant Aiello, a local natural perfumer who owns and operates Artemisia here in Portland. 

We'll smell through raw materials, compare them to modern fragrances, and watch Amy create a new fragrance during the class. At the end of the night, you'll even get a small vial of it to bring home!

Tickets are free of charge but extremely limited, so be sure to reserve your spot as soon as possible. Complimentary wine will be provided. We look forward to seeing you there!

Longevity and layering

Did you know that fragrance longevity can be greatly increased by beginning your routine with clean, moisturized skin? We recommend starting with a shower gel or soap that is either neutrally scented or in the same scent family as your perfume. Then, add a moisturizer and/or body oil and allow it to soak in. Finally, add your fragrance on top. This added moisture barrier will hold the scent molecules for more time, allowing the fragrance to last longer. Think of it as a primer for perfume!
You can also layer scented products (including lotion, soap, body oil, perfume oil, and other alcohol-based perfumes) to add depth, intensity, or a variety of other facets to your final fragrance. We suggest beginning with similar scents (such as two different citrus or vanilla fragrances) and testing those layering combinations, then branching out to more experimental pairings. Feeling stuck? Shared notes, even in very different fragrances, can help bring the final scent together. The sky's the limit - have fun!
