Meet Your Host! Yael Assaf
Hi, I'm so glad you're here.
I founded The Scent Studio because I discovered that scent is a language of emotions and memories. Through blending fragrances, you can tell a story and make a moment eternal. I wanted to create a space where everyone could experience this magic.
My background as a Naturopath and a Certified Perfumer allows me to bridge the deep understanding of the human soul with the high art of classic French perfumery.
I see the magic in my workshops – the smiles and the pride when people hold the perfume they created themselves. My goal is not just to teach you how to make a perfume, but to allow a connection to yourself and to the beautiful land of Israel. I invite you to join a fragrant journey that continues with you long after the workshop ends.
