Workshop attached to the traditions of ancient perfumery, organizing initiation workshops for groups of 10 people.
Candes-Saint-Martin inspires artists and attracts them! The renowned perfumer Nicolas de Barry has just set up his workshop here. Welcome to a gentleman perfumer! Attached to the traditions of ancient perfumery, this artist perfumer travels the world in search of rare essences with a particular taste for ouds. No artifice! Since 2005, he has been creating personal, historical and 100% natural perfumes. His very privileged collection gathers 26 fragrances made from emblematic raw materials of the history of perfumery. Creator of the new concept of artistic perfumery, he conceives certain perfumes as works of art in their own right. Creator of fragrances that he dedicates to body, clothing or ambiance perfumes, he now proposes to share his passion and to initiate you to his art. At first, you will discover the historical raw materials in perfumery: sperm whale amber, iris from Florence, roses from Grasse, Crimea or Bulgaria, sambac jasmine from China or grandiflorum from Karnataka, Karo-Karunde from Africa, ouds (aloe wood) from South-East Asia, and even oak moss dyeing that he makes himself in Chinon. The initiation workshops take place for groups of 10 people maximum, in a magnificent environment, over half a day, including a meal or a snack. An exceptional moment with a fascinating character. You will be able to create your own perfumes! At least if you have a minimum of... nose.
