The Art of Creating Egyptian Perfume at Prairiewoods

This introduction to perfume creation is influenced by the scents of northeast Africa and the historical practices of ancient Egypt. In this evening session at Prairiewoods (120 East Boyson Road in Hiawatha), we will explore a brief history of olfaction in ancient Egypt, the properties of various Egyptian essential oils and blending practices. You will take home perfume in a small, authentic hand-blown glass Egyptian perfume bottle. Karen Sindelar, Prairiewoods holistic services provider and certified clinical aromatherapist, will instruct from her 2020 holistic aromatherapy study tour to Egypt sponsored by the National Association of Holistic Aromatherapists (NAHA). The cost is $50 and includes a $25 materials fee. For more information or to register, contact Prairiewoods at www.Prairiewoods.org or 319-395-6700.
