I loved Jessica's previous perfume workshop in the summer, so I was excited to have the opportunity to work with her again.
In addition to being incredibly knowledgable, she is also truly kind, genuine, and down to earth.
I am fascinated by the exotic and complex aroma of choya; imagine a burnt campfire at the beach. The scent is earthy, smoky, woody, oceanic, and ambery - all in one. Interestingly, choya is created by the distillation of burnt sea shells.
The goal of the workshop was not to make great perfumes in class, but rather to learn how to edit our own perfumes and improve any weaknesses or flaws in the formula.
I am grateful to have learned some great tips as well as to discover and explore a truly intriguing essence: choya nakh. Keep an eye out for a possible natural perfume with choya in our store!
