An exploration of botanical provenance, aromatic composition and the ancient ritual of scent.
Join us for AROMATICA MATERIA, an intimate sensory workshop exploring the art of botanical incense making through material, intuition and ritual.
Guided by aromatic herbalist Kristen Budd of Calma Places, enter an aromatic library of thoughtfully sourced raw botanical materials, exploring a diverse collection of fragrant woods, aromatic herbs, natural resins, dried flowers, roots, barks and spices.
Discover the distinctive olfactory characteristics of each ingredient, from the grounding warmth of woody botanicals and the rich, balsamic complexity of natural resins to delicate floral notes, earthy undertones and the vibrant aromatic qualities of herbs and spices.
Through an esoteric lens, examine the provenance, textures, subtle complexities and individual scent profiles of these materials, developing an understanding of how their aromatic properties interact, complement and transform one another.
Explore the art of botanical composition, experimenting with contrasting aromatic families and discovering the delicate balance between earthy, woody, floral, herbaceous and resinous notes.
