Creating Natural Perfume with Mandy Aftel

Mandy will discuss the history of natural perfume; how a perfume is constructed, and then demonstrate the creation of one of her perfumes.

Mandy's approach to creating artisan natural perfumes is based in the quality and integrity of the ingredients. Unlike most commercial perfumes, for each of her hand-crafted liquid and solid perfumes, she chooses from among more than five hundred of the finest natural essences found anywhere in the world, using organic or wild-crafted oils whenever possible. The all-natural fragrance materials that she works with are often expensive because she wants the creative freedom to use not just one or two but several in a blend.

Mandy will be creating her famous Parfum de Maroc and offering a book signing after the class.

This class may be registered for separately. Please see the registration page. We will also offer a book signing after her class and Mandy will have some of her intoxicating perfumes for sale!

This class will be held off site in the conference room of Traditional Medicinals ( 10 minutes from CSHS, California School of herbal Studies). See Map for directions.
