“Julie’s natural perfumery class was pure magic — a warm, sensory journey I’ll never forget. She is incredibly generous with her knowledge, sharing what she knows with such openness and care that you immediately feel welcomed and inspired.
The setting is just as special: Julie’s garden is breathtaking, with a beautiful view stretching out over the valley. Being there felt like a gentle massage for the senses — surrounded by living botanicals, fresh air, and quiet beauty.
And then the oils… Julie’s collection and the way she guides you through them is truly mind-blowing. Each scent feels like a story, and by the end you’re not only learning — you’re completely inspired. I left with a fuller heart, a more curious nose, and deep gratitude for the experience.”
“This class was an absolute highlight! Julie welcomed us into her garden full of native and other beautiful plants, walked us through the distilling process, and then guided us step by step in creating our own spray perfume.
She provided plenty of materials, clear guidance, and a super relaxed vibe — plus we were treated to her own tea blend and a delicious lemon cake, which was the perfect touch. Informative, hands-on, and genuinely fun. Highly recommended!”
“Such a beautiful location, such a knowlegable and friendly instructor who loves what she does - she made it super easy to understand but also suitable to someonw with some knowledge or intereste in scent blending. She had soooo many amazing and unique essential oils to use! Would be so lovely for a group activity/day event or pre-wedding event. I love the perfume and hydrosol I got to make and take home, gorgeous bottles as well!”
“Julie was fantastic! She took us on a comprehensive tour of her garden, explaining how all the different plants and trees get used for perfumery, and talked about the theory of creating a lasting fragrance. The information was interesting, the experience was fun, and Julie is a great host and a warm, interesting person. We absolutely loved this workshop!”
“Whether you're just dabbling in perfumery or are a serious hobbyist, the class offers a perfect opportunity to explore the stories behind great scents and experience the thrill of creating your own using natural ingredients. It was my first time learning about perfume-making, and I knew nothing about lavender, citrus, petrichor, or rosewood. By the end, I was able to situate many scents on the scent wheel and craft a unique composition that paired beautifully.”
“We had a fantastic experience. Julie is so generous with her knowledge and her beautiful garden and home.
Very keen to go back again soon.
Highly recommended for everyone as it’s all so interesting and oh the smells
Delicious cake and tea.
An all round beautiful way to spend an afternoon.”
