Aromatic plants have been used in many forms since antiquity in devotional rituals and celebrations, to fragrance the air, to anoint, cleanse, heal and beautify the body and to stir the senses.

Discover the origins and the remarkable role of aromatic plants in this immersive workshop, where you will enjoy a hands-on, interactive session embracing the theory and creative art of botanical perfumery.
