Atelier Madrona Parfumeur

Private Workshops

Private Workshop

During a workshop in her studio or at your home, Master Perfumer Chelsey Owen will lift the veil on illustrious French perfume houses, and niche young fragrance laboratories alike.  Over a two-hour, interactive session, you’ll get a peek into the mysterious world of fragrance, accords and facets.  You’ll learn about head, heart, and base notes.  You’ll learn about sillage (pronounced as see-yazh) – a French word describing the scented trail left by a fragrance wearer.  Even if you’re well studied in perfume, you’ll have a new experience and a special sense of discovery participating in the creation of a fragrance.
