Stepping into the small studio on a Coral Gables side street, the first thing that greets you is a column of fragrances — citruses bright as a morning market, spices that lean into dusk, and florals that seem to breathe. Light filters through frosted glass while the instructor lays out base, middle and top notes; the workbench becomes a laboratory and a quiet invitation to experiment.

If sustainability matters, request info on whether essential oils are wild-harvested or sustainably farmed.
Bring a notebook
Record combinations and ratios so you can reproduce or tweak your blend later.
Small notebook and pen

Light tote bag
Carry your finished 50 ml bottle and any printed notes home safely.
Unscented skin care
Use unscented lotion or cleanser before the session so oils read accurately on your skin.

If you plan to explore Coral Gables afterward, have sunscreen or a hat for outdoor walking.
