2 hours

Class size 1 to 10 (public classes), 10 to 30
  $150 (Afterpay available)

We're bringing our fun, relaxing, and unique perfume-making class to Melbourne! Step into the alluring world of fragrances and scents with our natural perfumery workshop!
Make your own signature scent and learn how to create two kinds of fragrances to take home with you: Eau de Toilette and Eau de Parfum. This class is the perfect gift for anniversaries, Mother's Day, and other special occasions. Our small class size ensures our instructor is available to guide you in the creative and formulation process.
We'll start with the science and history of perfume. You'll be introduced to the different kinds of fragrances. Gain an understanding of how fragrance notes work and be guided through the fragrance pyramid and fragrance wheel. By the end of the class, you will have the confidence to layer fragrances and design your own signature scent.
With over 200 natural fragrances available in our studio, we'll explore the fragrance family from fresh, floral, and fruity to spicy, earthy, and woody. Using perfumer's grade alcohol and only natural absolutes, extracts, resins, essential and plant oils, you will create a scent profile that's unique to you.
You will be spoilt for choice of crowd favourites and niche scents like jasmine and ylang-ylang, frangipani, rosewood, vanilla, juniper, grapefruit, lemon, lavender, rose, patchouli, cinnamon, and cedarwood to name a few. You will also be introduced to our very own Australian native ingredients like lemon myrtle, tea tree, eucalyptus blue gum, and kunzea.
At the end of the workshop, you will make your own fragrances in two styles:
  • Your choice of Eau de Cologne or Eau de Toilette in a perfumer's grade alcohol base, 30ml spray bottle.
  • Eau de Parfum, a luxurious oil-based perfume in a stylish travel sized bottle, a handbag or purse must-have.
We'll also discuss the etiquette of perfumery: how to apply fragrances, what to do and not to do to make fragrances linger and last.

We had plenty of opportunities to smell, explore, and choose different oils, and then create our own personalised perfumes, which was a real highlight.

My partner Fiona and I attended together, and from the moment we arrived, Louella’s warmth, passion, and deep knowledge of perfumery shone through. She guided us through every step of the creative process — from understanding scent notes and blending techniques to crafting our own signature fragrances — with such enthusiasm and expertise that it was impossible not to be inspired. Her ability to make the class both educational and relaxed created the perfect atmosphere for learning and fun. We both walked away not only with our own beautiful custom perfumes, but also with a genuine appreciation for the art and science behind fragrance.

  • 4/5 from Branka Damouni, attended May 2025: The teacher was very engaging and knew a lot about parfums making and history. I did however, feel rushed to make my fragrance. Two and a half hours of the workshop isn't enough to learn the theory and properly consider notes for yourself when developing your signature scent. Also, options were limited (eg. my favourite musk was unavailable). At the end, the teacher kindly managed to put together a fragrance for me, which I am grateful for

  • 5/5 from Linda Lai, attended Jun 2024: Louella is a great teacher. She not only walks you through how to make the perfume, she does a great crash course on the neuroscience of the senses, the chemistry of perfume, and historical context on aromatics use over the ages/cultures. Great balance of theory and hands-on practice. I experienced sensory and decision making overload during the class. She was incredibly patient and understanding which made a huge difference. I walked away feeling excited and empowered to explore more. Thank you Louella for your generosity and enthusiasm!

  • 5/5 from Laura Baff, attended May 2024: My sister bought this class as a birthday present for me It's not something I would have thought to do myself, but what a time we had! Luoella is a wealth of information and so kind and patient Such a great experience 10/10 would recommend

She was extremely engaged and attentive towards the classes needs and I found the price of the class quite good value.

Keen to use ClassBento for other classes too.

  • 5/5 from Diane Low, attended Mar 2024: I attended this class after a friend expressed an interest in doing it, without ever having considered doing anything like it before. Louella was a great teacher - very knowledgeable and experienced in both the science and art of perfumery. Everything was very clearly explained and best of all, quite unexpectedly, I’ve come away with two bottles of a beautiful, natural perfume that I created by using my own sense of smell and that I absolutely love. Thank you, Louella.
  • 5/5 from Amanda Hadley, attended Mar 2024: The class was great fun and Louella took care of us with cold bottled water, tea and biscuits on a hot busy day.

  • 5/5 from Roxanne Chung, attended Jan 2024: Highlight of my weekend, a great balance of history, culture, science and explorative fun. Informative, interactive and fulfilling; presented in a friendly and passionate manner which is engaging and being able to come home with a signature scent.

Hi, I'm Louella. I'm a small batch maker of natural products and fragrances.
My handmade journey started when I was working for Australian farmers and discovered how amazing plants are! I started making natural lip balms with plant oils from our kitchen bench. And Kiss Ready Lips, a collection of natural lip balms was born.
Many years on, I still hand make our eco luxe natural products. These days, you'll find me at Naturally Ready, our Marrickville studio in Sydney, teaching natural perfume, home fragrances and DIY skincare workshops.
I also run private in-person workshops for hen's and bridal shower, birthday parties and team building.
I'm so excited to share my love for handmade, truly nourishing ingredients and small batch fragrances and natural skincare with you.
Love x Louella
