Treat your guests to a memorable, multi-sensory experience with a *virtual* natural fragrance workshop from Bios Apothecary! This interactive, educational immersion is great for team building and employee engagement - each guest will build a perfume or cologne from scratch, using a preselected palette of compatible natural aromas, while being guided by our master perfumer. 

This one hour virtual session (zoom) opens with an introduction to natural perfumery and an overview of the ingredients and supplies in the DIY fragrance kit. As guests unpack and get settled we begin the educational component or the workshop, teaching basic principles of scent structure and composition. Next, we delve deeper into each included fragrance, discussing the nuances of each scent, it’s history and origin, as well as some suggestions and templates for blending. Then we begin the guided formulation phase of the workshop, where each guest expresses their individuality by creating a one-of-a-kind, unique signature scent. This is an unforgettable experience with a memorable keepsake that your clients or co-workers are sure to remember.
