Description
Craft your own perfume, oils, and incense in a workshop in Zanzibar. Learn to blend essential oils, create natural body and hair oils, and shape aromatic incense cones.
Begin by blending your own custom Swahili-inspired perfume, choosing from pure essential oils traditionally used in coastal beauty rituals. Learn the art of balancing top, heart, and base notes as you craft a scent that is uniquely yours.
Continue with hands-on oil making, where you’ll create natural body and hair oils using Zanzibar’s signature botanicals, each known for their soothing and revitalizing qualities.
The experience culminates with incense crafting. Using powdered spices, resins, and natural binders, you’ll shape aromatic incense cones that echo the island’s historic spice markets. Every creation is then elegantly packaged, ready to take home as meaningful, handcrafted souvenirs.
