Perfume Making and Aperitifs Evening Soiree

This is not the time to rush.
Perfume Making and Aperitifs is an evening built for slowing down and paying attention — to what you smell, what you taste, what it feels like to be fully present in the last warmth of summer.
Perfume teacher Kari Cardinale guides you through blending your own signature scent to take home.
Enjoy Aperitifs in the backyard by Rue de Rêve.
This is the final creative evening of Camp Hivery. We are making it beautiful on purpose.

A Note from Our Perfume-Making Guide, Kari Cardinale:
Of the five senses, smell is the one we spend the least time exploring. Yet it holds our profound memories and emotions. Think of your grandmother's cookies. The trace of your Dad's cologne. The smell outside after a Spring rain, or fresh-cut grass in summertime. It is personal and often the scents we are drawn to are meaningful just for us.
I've come to believe that scent is medicine. When we blend the notes that align with us, something shifts. It can be calming. It can be energizing. It can return us to ourselves.
This is a time of pure play. We will explore the scents that draw you in, follow your own curiosity, and craft a blend that is entirely yours. You will leave with it in hand, ready to enjoy for months to come.
Come indulge the sense and scents that we so often overlook. It is so much fun to share, compare and create together!
