scent workshops
A scent workshop is an ideal starting point to decipher your own relationship to smell and scent. Create your own story in scent and engage with your associations in a protected and fun environment.
"It was like an exploration trip, where scents evoked new imaginations but also brought back old memories, that’s how powerful fragrances are.“
- Workshop participant, Sandra Ngoga, student marketing communication

In diesem Workshop widmen wir uns dem Erinnern: Menschen, Momenten und Spuren, die uns begleiten. Über Geruch lassen sich Gefühle und Geschichten öffnen, die oft im Verborgenen liegen. Gemeinsam erforschen wir persönliche Duftassoziationen und entwickeln einen Duft, der an das Erlebte anknüpft – als stiller Begleiter für Zeiten des Innehaltens.
In this workshop, we focus on memories: people, moments and traces that stay with us. Smells can unlock feelings and stories that often remain hidden. Together, we explore personal scent associations and develop a fragrance that ties in with our experiences – as a silent companion for moments of reflection.

Übergänge sind Phasen des Wandels – manchmal leise, manchmal kraftvoll. Dieser Workshop lädt dazu ein, diese Zwischenräume bewusst wahrzunehmen und ihre Qualität über den Duft erfahrbar zu machen. Wir arbeiten mit ausge- wählten Essenzen, die Beweglichkeit, Öffnung oder Neubeginn unterstützen, und komponieren einen Duft, der in Zeiten des Wechsels Orientierung und Stärke bieten kann.
Transitions are phases of change – sometimes quiet, sometimes powerful. This workshop invites you to consciously perceive these in-between spaces and experience their quality through scent. We work with selected essences that support mobility, openness or new beginnings, and compose a fragrance that can offer orientation and strength in times of change.

Abschied ist ein sensibler Raum, in dem Intimität, Erinnerung und Trauer ineinander greifen. In einem besonders kleinen Rahmen bietet dieser Workshop die Möglichkeit, über Geruch einen Zugang zu persönlichen Abschiedsprozessen zu finden. Gemeinsam erforschen wir Düfte, die Halt geben oder Erinnerungen tragen, und entwickeln eine individuelle Komposition, die Trost spenden oder beim Loslassen unterstützen kann.
Farewells are a sensitive space where intimacy, memory and grief intertwine. In a particularly small setting, this workshop offers the opportunity to find access to personal farewell processes through scent. Together, we explore scents that provide support or carry memories, and develop an individual composition that can offer comfort or help with letting go.
