Yougi Perfume-Making Workshop

Inhale, exhale, blend; your own scent blooms between your palms.

In a bright studio off Spitalfields, Yougi's perfumers guide you through the alchemy of scent. The 90-minute workshop begins with an introduction to aromatherapy and the ways scent affects mood. You learn about top, heart and base notes, sniff ethically sourced essential oils and blend them into a fragrance that is wholly yours. The class is unhurried and mindful – more about how you want to feel than how you want to smell – and you leave with a bottle of your own perfume and a quiet grin.
