This class might be over, but get first dibs on new sessions and brand-new classes by signing up on our ultra-rad mailing list.

Spring is on the way, with promises of new beginnings and romance, so it's a good time to fine-tune your senses!

In this multi-sensory class we'll experience six fragrance notes that have long associations with love and sensuality, hear their histories, and find out how artists and writers have paid tribute to them.

Afterwards, we'll sip matching flavored (non-alcoholic) beverages during Q&A.
