Learn to harness the power of aroma and dream your own fragrance with natural perfumer & aromachologist, Antoinette Goosen.
“A lot of the way Antoinette’s been explaining to us, to use our feeling instead of using our brains, hasn’t come naturally to me. As the process evolved, I’m starting to use my intuition a lot more.”
Lee Thompson – The Bachelor SA

Reviews
Liv
“It has been a dream of mine for as long as I can remember, to attend a natural perfume making workshop. A Google search led me to Antoinette and everything about her and her work instantly resonated with me. Thankfully she was willing to give me a private workshop.
I adored every moment, right from the start when she welcomed me very warmly at our open-air location. The artfully laid-out table brimmed over with all the alchemical ingredients and tools one’s heart could possibly desire.
Antoinette is in the possession of encyclopedic knowledge about the vast scope of topics related to perfume making, from history and botany, to the therapeutic aspects of plants and much more. Her passion and patience imparts her students with the confidence to explore and create various olfactory delights over two days. Working and playing with Antoinette has been life changing for me!”
