Teacher's Experience
Natural perfumes radically changed my perspective in 2009. I discovered that they could do much more for me than make me smell good, but make me feel great too. This realization made me curious about the connections between plants, emotion, scent, spirit, and science. My mission is to make intuitive perfumery, aroma, and extraction science an accessible art. I’ve taught natural perfumery and hosted perfumery events since 2017 and I teach ongoing private perfume making workshops throughout the year. My specialty is Aromachology (effects of scent on mood and behaviour) and I formulate specialized perfumes for clients. On the popular M-NET TV show, The Bachelor SA, the Bachelor and his date attended my perfume-making workshop. I contributed a functional perfume for the Richard John Forbes's sculpture, the Acoustic Resonance Collector, at the Johannesburg Art Gallery in 2010. I enjoyed speaking about the art of natural perfumery in my featured article published in Country Life Magazine in 2017. During a radio interview with the SABC, on Radio 2000, I had the chance to discuss the intuitive aspects of perfumery and the effects of scent. Over 5 days, I blended 500 different natural perfumes live, during the 2019 Johannesburg International Flower Show for Unilever, with the floral essences that they sought. To further my knowledge, I completed training in master herbalism (diploma 2020), extraction methods and essential oils (2020), and an introduction to distillation, including fermentation and spirit enhancement (2020) at Distillique SA. When I'm not perfuming or studying, I'm usually outdoors in nature and I enjoy nature photography, writing and visual art. Member of SAEOPA - The Southern African Essential Oil Producers Association. Established in 2000, SAEOPA is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the production, processing, and export of essential oils and natural plant products.
