Chelsea Physic Garden - Folklore Perfume

  • Chelsea Physic Garden 66 Royal Hospital Road London, England, SW3 4HS United Kingdom (map)

Step into a world where stories grow on trees and every plant holds a secret. In this hands-on Folklore Perfume Blending workshop, you’ll explore the myths, legends and ancestral beliefs woven through the aromatic plants we still love today.

From roses linked to goddesses of love to resins once burned in sacred rites, each ingredient tells a tale—and you’ll transform these stories into a personal fragrance of your own.

Gently guided, you’ll smell your way through a curated collection of botanicals, uncover their symbolic meanings, and learn how folklore has shaped the way we use scent for protection, memory, ritual, and enchantment.

 Then, using a range of aromatic essences, you’ll craft a bespoke perfume inspired by the myth, archetype or plant spirit that resonates most deeply with you.

Whether you’re a perfume enthusiast, a lover of folklore, or a curious creative soul, this workshop invites you to blend intuition with artistry—bottling the magic of old stories for the modern world.

Price - £50.00
