Sensory Workshop
RADICI E MINERALI. Profumi dal sottosuolo
with Malva Moncalvo, expert in natural cosmetics and fragrances
Saturday, October 5, 15:00
Spazio Gardenia, Ala Cernobbio
Paid event* with reservation required
The mysterious realm of fragrances intertwines with the secrets of the soil. Smell, the most primitive sense that deeply connects us to our origins, evokes ancient legends and millennia-old sensations.
The history of perfume unfolds through the essences of roots, mosses, and lichens—earthy and mineral raw materials. An interactive and sensory journey.
At the end of the workshop, each participant will receive a fragrant essence in an antique glass vial.
