Perfume Making Workshop

Create your own scent with us on August 30th.

"Jasmine Sambac is that intoxicating dizzy feeling you get right before a dream starts." - Joseph Baumauster

Joseph Baumauster, the perfumer behind all of our Story mfg. fragrances, is running a workshop at the London Fields Studio + Shop. Joseph’s process connects with our ethos - his work is shaped by landscapes, grounded in sustainability, and built from rare materials that most perfumers overlook like Mitti Attar, an extract distilled from broken and discarded chai cups using an ancient perfumery technique - and one of the key notes in our first 2 perfumes.

Our perfumes took over a years’ research in the field, applying the same principles we build upon for all our clothing: slow, craft-processes using natural ingredients, always in the most conscientious way possible. In this three-hour workshop, you'll learn about our process, including our stoppers made from deadstock materials, before making your own 15ml scent to take home using our process.

Joseph has the most incredible brain and is a perfume encyclopedia - so bring questions!
