ABA LOVE APOTHECARY invites you to create a custom aromatic blend in the spirit of personal stories. In this 3 and a half hour workshop, we will create a pure botanical perfume oil blend to journey with you on your wildest adventures (real or fantasy).
In this class we will:
• explore a variety of treasured oils and fundamental ingredients
• cover top, heart and base notes and how they relate to each other
• discuss the unique energy of each essential oil & the personal connection to oils

About Aba
Aba Gyepi-Garbrah is the product formulator, botanical perfumer and founder of Aba Love Apothecary. The love of plant medicine led her to a discovery of exotic flowers, humble weeds and seeds, precious oils, sacred woods and resins that were rich in telling the stories of natures secrets and the history of the world. Professional training at New York Institute of Aromatherapy cultivated her skills in olfactory art and natural healing through the senses. Aba purposefully created The Apothecary to embrace the whole person, tailored for those who seek to harness the magic of plants in real life.
