There is no such thing as Amber oil. Amber is a proprietary blend, very closely guarded secret. We'll be using some #allnatural #essentialoils and absolutes to create our own Amber and oriental perfumes this Saturday.

There is a magic potion that you're probably all aware of, the martini. Gin was invented by the Dutch as a medicinal beverage. It turns out it kills the worms that were supplying the plague. We'll be ending our class on magic potions with a magic martini. You'll also learn to use your magic powers to create things like preventatives for cold and flu, a cure all for various skin afflictions and an an antidote against the ravages of time (amongst others). Potions: Practical Magic for Muggles. We'll be discussing the practical magic all around us and rediscovering some magic potions that you've probably been using forever. This is a hands-on class for adults who want to understand plant magic and mix up some potions. Saturday, October 26, 1:00 to 3:30 PM, Park Slope, Brooklyn. . . #martini #gin #magic #magicpotion #magicpotions #potions #harrypotter #hogwarts #herbalmagic #plantmagic #witch #wizard #schoolforwizardryandwitchcraft #diywitch #diywitchcraft (at Alchemologie Natural Perfume) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ZkzKwhz_H/?igshid=kkw8ii8s3yic

October is the perfect time of year to be working with wood notes. A selection of precious woods will be available to work with including Australian sandalwood, incense wood, Himalayan Cedarwood and Palo Santo to name a few. We'll be exploring some classic perfumes and then you'll be creating two of your own, one first attempt and one revision.

I'm gathering my materials for this coming Saturday's Into the Woods Natural Perfume workshop. I love the range in this category, from light terpenic top notes such as pine and fir to the deep dark heavy base notes like oud. There's something for everyone to love. There are still seats available, if you're so inclined. I hope you can join us! . . #alchemologie #wood #woodperfume #sandalwood #oud #naturalperfume #perfumemakingclassnyc #makeyourownperfumenyc #perfumemakingclass #class #workshop #make #makeperfume #perfumeworkshop #perfumeclass #bespokeperfume #perfumemaking #naturalbeauty #alchemologie #experiencegifts #naturalbeauty #essentialoils #ecofragrance #ecoperfume . . #alchemologie #wood #woodperfume #sandalwood #oud #naturalperfume #perfumemakingclassnyc #makeyourownperfumenyc #perfumemakingclass #class #workshop #make #makeperfume #perfumeworkshop #perfumeclass #bespokeperfume #perfumemaking #naturalbeauty #alchemologie #experiencegifts #naturalbeauty #essentialoils #ecofragrance #ecoperfume #essentialoilperfume (at Alchemologie Natural Perfume) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3CxolKhEe2/?igshid=yp1qqxukn5cy

I've been putting off redesigning my business card for far too long and now have a mere 17 cards left in my possession.

It hardly seems like fall at all this year. It's been hovering around the low 80s and it's been fairly humid for September. I fear this is the new normal, more warm and humid days into the fall. I feel like it's still summer but then I turn around and see things like this and I'm reassured. We must do everything we can to reduce fossil fuels. Please! . . #signsoffall #signsofautumn #oak #acorn #acorns (at Park Slope) https://www.instagram.com/p/B269BMvhSO0/?igshid=y5fm1zcknrb2

We ended yesterday's class with a bottle of icy cold rose. It seemed like a good time to use up that bottle of pink wine I had in the fridge because you can't drink pink wine after Labor Day (or some such nonsense)! . . #naturalperfume #botanicalperfume #perfumemakingclassnyc #makeyourownperfumenyc #perfumemakingclass #class #workshop #make #perfumer #makeperfume #perfumeworkshop #perfumeclass #bespokeperfume #perfumemaking #naturalbeauty #alchemologie #experiencegifts #naturalbeauty #essentialoils #ecofragrance #ecofriendlyperfume #ecoperfume (at Alchemologie Natural Perfume) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2twhiVBngp/?igshid=61uq4a0ian7j

When I finished the last Harry Potter book all I wanted to do was go to Hogwarts and have a wand and make magic potions. Over the years I've realized that I've been making magic potions all along. The magic might be a little slower than what Harry and his friends could accomplish but I can still work magic. Going to Hogwarts however was a little more challenging. So I've been working on a class for Muggles who wish they had gone to Hogwarts. It's called Potion: Practical Magic for Muggles. It's a hands-on class for adults that they wish they went to Hogwarts. We'll be making potions to ward off foreign invaders like viruses and other infectious critters, we'll create an antidote to aging, a cure-all oil for skin afflictions and we'll celebrate our magic powers at the end with a very famous magic potion, a martini. Coming up the last Saturday in October. . . #magic #magicpotion #magicpotions #potions #harrypotter #hogwarts #herbalmagic #plantmagic #advancedpotionmaking #advancedpotionmakingbook #witch #wizard #schoolforwizardryandwitchcraft #diywitch #diywitchcraft (at Alchemologie Natural Perfume) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2rMIOZBBGq/?igshid=1lobsjfzntt6l

My beginner classes are selling out so quickly! I'm thrilled that so many people want to learn how to make beautiful fragrances. I'm teaching two new classes this fall, one called Potions: Practical Magic for Muggles, a workshop for adults who wish they went to Hogwarts. In November I'm teaching a resins class that will focus on frankincense and I'll be doing that along with @spritzi_mcgillacutty. I also have a beginner class coming up at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Hope to meet you in class! . . #naturalperfume #botanicalperfume #perfumemakingclassnyc #makeyourownperfumenyc #perfumemakingclass #class #workshop #make #perfumer #makeperfume #perfumeworkshop #perfumeclass #bespokeperfume #perfumemaking #naturalbeauty #alchemologie #experiencegifts #naturalbeauty #essentialoils #ecofragrance #ecofriendlyperfume #ecoperfume (at Alchemologie Natural Perfume) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2PBhmhBgg3/?igshid=926odk1x2vvz

This summer has all been about making liqueurs. This is the summer that I discovered the wonders of holy basil. I've been drinking a tissane made of it every day and I also made some holy basil flavored vodka to play with. I'm also making an herbal liqueur from the herb garden at the community garden. I just took a little of each thing that we were growing and also a few things that I had here like Tonka beans, vanilla beans and shisandra berries. I'm going to let that one macerate another couple of months before I tinker with it. Oh, and I'm having some real fun with the labels! . . . #alchemologie #alchemy #liqueurs #homemadeliqueur #herballiqueur #holybasil (at Alchemologie Natural Perfume) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MdTr7hrwU/?igshid=vi00q0shxstg

I hosted this beautiful family for a private perfume party this week. Three generations of women got together to celebrate one of their 50th birthdays.
