Stepping into the studio, the air smells of citrus and lavender; countertops hold jars of citric acid, baking soda, and pigment like a small chemist’s garden. The instructor lays out molds and scent strips, and within minutes the class begins folding fragrance into powder, pressing mixtures into compact halves that will later fizz in a warm tub.
