This Halloween, enter a world of dark romance, whispered spells, and hauntingly beautiful scents. In Gothic Aromatics, you’ll discover the mysterious botanicals of the witch’s apothecary—resins, herbs and essences once prized for protection, divination, and enchantment.

Guided by a mistress of the olfactive arts (me!), you’ll learn to:

• Blend and craft your own ritual incense using resins, herbs, and spices.

• Create a bewitching room /space spray infused with gothic inspired essential oils.

• Explore the folklore and magic woven into aromatic plants.

By (LED) candlelight, with possibly a mortar and pestle in hand, you’ll craft fragrant treasures to carry home—potent reminders of the season when the veil grows thin.

Fee: £50 - includes all materials, tuition and class notes, ghostly apparitions optional and unpredictable

With courage in hand find out more and book your place via Chelsea Physic Garden (it is listed as Smoke of Samhain)
