History
The French Quarter’s scent palette reflects centuries of trade—spices, citrus, and river-borne timber influenced Creole and colonial life in New Orleans.
Conservation
Workshops favor small-batch blending and stored formulas to reduce waste; consider reordering in refill formats to minimize packaging.

Arrive Early for Setup
Check in 15 minutes before your scheduled session to pick a workstation and review the workbook before the practical portion begins.
Declare Allergies Upfront
Let staff know about any scent sensitivities so they can steer you away from specific essential oils or suggest alternatives.
Bring a Notepad or Use the Workbook
You’ll make several small formula tweaks—take notes or use the provided workbook so you can reorder the exact blend later.
Use Public Transit or Walk
Parking in the French Quarter is limited; the workshop is easy to reach by transit and on-foot from most central hotels.

You may be standing or walking through the Quarter before or after class.
Phone or camera
