This fall, let fragrance touch your body and soul.

Even though the days are still bright and beautiful, fall has already arrived. The trees are slowly turning yellow and red, and a few leaves are scattered on the ground.

Summer has always made my heart beat faster, but fall feels deeply romantic. It’s like stepping inside the paintings I used to create, or living in the American movies I watched as a child. Over the years, I’ve realized that I now live in the place I once dreamed of.

Having experienced a few autumns here, I can say the city truly smells like pumpkin and cinnamon. People slow down, kitchens come alive, and the air fills with aromas of bread, cakes, and roasted meals. Our sense of smell is such a powerful bridge to memory and emotion – it only reveals its magic when lived through experience.

🍂 This fall, I’ll be hosting a special workshop here in London, Ontario. Together we’ll explore the scents that nourish us during this season – like anise, cinnamon, and cardamom. We’ll prepare our skin for the colder days through the ancient practice of oiling, while learning the language of perfumery: top, heart, and base notes.

✨ What we’ll do together:

• Explore the natural extracts of the season

• Learn the art of perfume composition

• Discover how plants can support our bodies during cold days

• Create and blend your own oil perfume

• Bless and anoint the fragrance you’ve made

And because I love to share, here’s a simple fall recipe you can try at home:

• 3 drops of essential oil in 1 tablespoon of carrier oil (jojoba or sweet almond)
• Cypress is a wonderful choice for autumn – it supports transitions and grounding
• Store in a small glass bottle with a cap
• Apply gently on your forehead, heart, or wrists as a ritual of self-connection

Fall is about slowing down, nourishing beauty, and letting fragrance touch both body and soul. I’d love to welcome you to this journey.

Warmly,
Carolina Zaina.
