Fruity & Fresh Perfume Workshop

In this workshop, our Particle perfumers, London & Alicia, will guide you through the foundational concepts of modern perfumery. Together, we’ll explore how perfumes are structured and formulated, the difference between natural and synthetic materials, essential lab tools, safety practices, and blending techniques used by professional working perfumers.

For this module, we will explore fruity and fresh scent profiles. Expect to encounter juicy berries, tropical fruits, bright citrus, tart apples, melon, decadent dried figs, and lush stone fruits. While materials from other scent families will be available to support your blend, the focus will remain on the vibrancy, sweetness, tang, and decadence of fruity accords.

We’ll begin by smelling and discussing several popular fragrances that fall within these scent profiles, breaking down what makes them work and how they’re constructed. Then you’ll move into the creative portion of the afternoon.

Using a curated palette of 50+ natural and synthetic perfume materials and accords, each participant will develop their own fragrance composition and bottle a custom 10ml eau de parfum spray to take home.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll:

• Learn foundational perfumery concepts and terminology
• Explore key materials used to construct bright citrus, orchard fruit, and tropical accords
• Smell and analyze popular perfumes from these scent families
• Create your own unique 10ml alcohol-based perfume spray to take home
• Leave with several professional perfume accord formulas & resources to continue experimenting

This class is designed to be welcoming to beginners while offering meaningful depth for fragrance lovers who want to go beyond a typical “blend-your-own perfume” experience.

Our workshop series is modular. Each class focuses on a different scent profile and material set. Participants who attend multiple workshops will gain a broader understanding of perfumery while building new formulas and techniques each time.

Discounts are available for those who register for multiple workshop modules.

Workshops take place in the afternoon at Crow in Edmonds from 1–4 pm. Participants may finish earlier than the allotted time and are not required to stay the full duration.

Come curious, follow your nose, and leave with a perfume that is uniquely yours.
