Introducing
Gergely Hollódi
Natural Perfumery: Beauty and Challenges
Although I consider myself as an aromatherapist, the beauty of essential oils and later other naturals attracted me to creating botanical perfumes. In this presentation, if you have not yet discovered I would like to invite you to take a short excursion into the world of aesthetics, which could, of course, work therapeutically too.
Natural (botanical) perfumery, as the name suggests, uses natural materials such as:
- essential oils
- absolutes
- CO2 extracts
- tinctures
- resinoids
- waxes
- creative materials and many more.
There is a fine line between aromatherapy and natural perfumery.
During the presentation we will explore:
- the differences and similarities between therapy and aesthetics
- the challenges and the beauties of creation
- some regulations and possibilities
and tools for creation.
