The 2nd Camp for Creators of Natural Perfumes
The 2nd camp for creators of natural perfumes will take place in Lipa on Karst in Slovenia from September 27-29, 2024.
The task will be to formulate perfumes representing a smellscape where the Slovenian mountains meet the Adriatic Sea.
Creators should come to the camp “armed” with their palettes of fragrant materials. At their disposal there will be a “snuff-bar” with materials illustrating the local scents. The camp is organized by the recently founded Association N.O.S.E., the invitation applies to all those who have completed Module 1 / Module 2 of the School Fragrant Signatures, and I will be mentoring the creative part of the event.
We expect good vibes, lots of creative energy, joyful socializing and an authentic fragrant fiesta!

Why is Natural Perfumery Important?
By wearing self-created natural perfume, one promotes their well-being and emphasizes personal biological signal.*
If you want to wear a perfume that will cooperate well with your body chemistry, the task of its creation can be best performed by you, your nose and your brain. For natural perfumes’ creation one needs passion, dedication, self-discipline, and patience.
*Research results say that when choosing perfumes, people prefer those that fit well with the natural scent of their bodies and harmoniously complement it.
About Us & Our Approach
The goal of the Fragrant Signatures – School of Natural Perfumery is to provide you with tools to immerse yourself in the world of natural fragrant materials and learn how to create your own natural perfumes. The school was designed in 2005 by Slobodanka Poštić.
Natural perfumes are not just another popular whim. People wore such perfumes till the end of the 19th century when, with the progress of organic chemistry, the first fragrant molecules were synthesized. They were cheaper and easier to produce, so they soon replaced natural fragrant materials. But today, due to the awareness that the loss of contact with nature is unhealthy, people tend to use natural materials wherever possible. This applies to perfumes as well.
Slobodanka Poštić is a teacher, aromatherapist, natural perfumery educator, author of the Fragrant Signatures – Manual for Creating Natural Perfumes. As an educator, she enjoys witnessing the curiosity, enthusiasm, and creativity of her students, as well as the impact that the process of creating and wearing natural perfumes has on their well-being. Slobodanka also manages a resourceful website Aromaterapija.info about aromatherapy, natural perfumery, and olfactory experiences.
Ana Ličina is a certified aromatherapist. She has been collaborating with Slobodanka for over ten years, with a goal to raise public awareness about natural perfumery. They organize education in natural perfumery, international exhibitions of natural perfumes, media appearances, etc. Ana manages Aroma Atelier, dedicated to education in natural perfumery, aromatherapy, distillation, and natural skincare.
