Scent Series

Join us at the Wellington Apothecary for a series of botanical alchemy workshops centred around the art of scent.

Discover the unique aromas and healing properties of over thirty pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils. Learn about top, middle, and base notes, and how to blend your chosen oils to create your own balanced, bespoke fragrance. Use your aromatic concentrate to craft a collection of beautiful aromatic products — for yourself or to gift to those you love.
