Next to my job at TU/e innovation Space, I also offer interactive guided perfume experiences. The goal of the perfume experience is to inspire, guide, and educate people about the world of scents. We, humans, put a lot of conscious focus on our sight, taste, touch, and sound, but not on our sense of smell. While using certain techniques, exercises, and smelling essential oils, aroma chemicals, and perfumes, I help to enhance and be more aware of the sense of smell, and at the same time bond, and connect with scented memories. I also share a lot of tips and tricks and other interesting facts about perfumes/essential oils, etc. Next to these sessions, I also run my own Instagram account/blog. It focuses on my passion: perfumes. I create visual content, write reviews, and share knowledge and my passion for the perfume world while trying to engage, educate, and grow my audience by using various strategies & and tools (Canva, Planoly, etc.).
