Create a harmonious blend while exploring the plant world and its diverse, amazing scents, creating a personalized perfume for you to take home—using only sustainable, organic, high-quality, and skin-nourishing essential oils.
Natural perfume-making (re)connects you with nature through its scents. It's like walking through a meadow of flowers or a dense forest after the rain. Scents awaken emotions, memories, and a deeper sense of self. They invite you to slow down, listen, and embrace the stories nature shares through its aromas.
Unfortunately nature suffers as the perfume industry is one of the most polluting. The sheer amount of chemicals, pesticides, and the vast number of flowers and plants needed to produce just one bottle of perfume is staggering—making the enjoyment of fragrance a little less delightful, doesn’t it?
Let’s spread positive scent—one made from flowers and plants grown sustainably, protecting nature by reducing waste, pollution, and the overuse of natural resources.
osmo comes from osmosis, the natural process by which molecules pass through a membrane, finding balance—much like creating a balanced perfume that will seep into the skin and subtly diffusing into the air, becoming one with the wearer. It symbolizes transformation, connection, and the unseen exchange between our body, emotions, and environment through scent.
Osmosis happens effortlessly, blending and merging, just as a fragrance becomes a deeply personal and immersive experience.
Maybe we’ve met before at Wildernis Amsterdam, where I help and advise customers on sustainable in and outdoor plants. I’m passionate about raising awareness—whether through my work as a (documentary) filmmaker, as a plant-based chef, or as a nature- teacher for kids, I also have a deep love for sustainable perfume which I’ve practiced since childhood—always mixing shampoos and creams in our bathroom, and later owning over fifty different types of essential oils, researching their physical and mental effects, blending them for all kinds of purposes, from cleaning the house to healing and nourishing my skin and hair, and, of course, making perfumes. My go-to birthday gift? A handmade perfume!
Now, I’m excited to share the passion and knowledge I’ve harvested over the years. I’ll be hosting a fun, scent-full, and informative workshop where your senses will be awakened by the incredible world of natural aromas we’ll explore.
You'll learn the basics of scent composition, explore sustainable essential oils—where they come from and what their sources look like—how to identify them, and how to create a balanced fragrance.
I've carefully selected a variety of profound scents to create a range of beautiful combinations.
Perfect for anyone who loves perfume and wants to explore a greener, more conscious approach to scent-making. No prior experience needed!
We'll begin with a brief dive into the history of perfume—its origins and some fun anecdotes along the way. Next, we'll awaken our senses with a scent journey, where you'll be invited to connect with different aromas while closing your eyes. Then, we'll start designing your unique fragrance by crafting a custom recip using a helpful guideline that I will hand out.
And the best part? You get to make your own.
Held at Wildernis Amsterdam, surrounded by sustainable plants and fresh, clean air—the perfect setting to create your personalized perfume in an intimate group setting.

Oil holds onto fragrance longer than alcohol, the scent develops gradually on your skin—unfolding naturally throughout the day. It lingers close, creating a soft, long-lasting experience that feels like it's truly a part of you.
Unlike alcohol-based perfumes, oil-based fragrances don’t dry out the skin. Instead, they nourish it, making them both gentle and luxurious. I use jojoba oil base, combined with pure essential oils, to create a fragrance that feels as good as it smells.
To create the foundation of your perfume, a variety of beautiful, long-lasting base notes will be used, ensuring your fragrance lingers for a long time.
