Initiate yourself into the world of natural perfumery thanks to Lamia, a passionate enthusiast for fragrance and the art of perfumery!Ā
This workshop will open with a theoretical introduction, where Lamia will talk about the history of perfume through the centuries and the legends associated with it. She'll introduce you to the perfumer's organ as well as the most beautiful and rare natural essences; you'll learn all about the olfactory pyramid and how to create the classic harmonies of fine perfumery under her guidance! She'll guide you through the methods of extracting raw materials as well as the vocabulary used in blind smelling.Ā
The workshop will continue with the practical side, starting with the choice of scents and the olfactory ambiance that youād like to express through your creation; you'll be able to test various mixtures to see what corresponds to your tastes and expectations. Finally, Lamia will show you how to weigh your final blend and fill your bottle like a true perfumer.Ā
This workshop will end with a friendly chat over a scented drink and sweet treat.
After a session of creativity and knowledge sharing, youāll take home your favourite, fully personalised 30 ml fragrance!
Workshop location
Lamia's workshop is located in the European district of Brussels, a stone's throw from Ambiorix Square. It can be reached by various bus lines (27-61-60-63) and the metro (Schuman station).
This place is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.
As a child, Lamia was highly sensitive and creative, and spent much of her time in the family garden, observing nature and taking care of its plants. Her first experience of olfactory pleasure ultimately dates back to the time when she started collecting colognes, which she mixed in order to create new scents.Ā
After secondary school, however, she decided to study law and pursue a career as an international lawyer. It was much further down the line that she decided to listen to her heart and join the world of perfumes and fragrance.Ā
She treated herself to a perfumery workshop and the rest is history!Ā
Initially self-taught, she refined her skills with perfumers who were passionate about their art and also took courses in aromatherapy and olfactotherapy.Ā
Art was always a major inspiration, so she combined her perfumery training with studies at the Royal Institute of Art History. Scents are an olfactory prism through which we perceive the world, and today Lamia combines her love of perfumes and creating authentic fragrances with passing on her expertise.
A wonderful time with Lamia at the Atelier. Besides the joy of making my first perfume (that I actually like š„°), I was so inspired by Lamia. Her attention to detail, personalised approach and a genuine wish to share her passion and empower those that are at the very start. Thank you, LamiaāØ
