Join Us for an Intimate, Sensory Afternoon of Scent Design with Villa Aburi

On Sunday, July 26th, join us for a 90-minute masterclass to blend fragrances, create your unique scent, and hand-pour your own luxury candle into a beautiful Moroccan-made glass vessel. You will then take your creation a step further by crafting a matching room spray to seamlessly carry that same signature scent throughout your space.

You will be guided by Villa Aburi co-founder Stacey Harris. In this intimate session, Stacey bridges her Guyanese-Ghanaian roots with modern lifestyle curation, inviting you to connect with heritage notes and design a fragrance profile that brings a sense of sacred space into your own home.

Before this evening, you've owned beautiful things. After, you'll understand what it feels like to make them. Your hands, your fragrance choices, and the moment it all comes together.

The Afternoon

There's a moment when you realize that the things you live with were chosen by someone. Not manufactured. Chosen. That moment changes how you see everything in your home.

We will gather in a space built for makers. You will blend and pour your own candle, layered with fragrance you choose, into a vessel from another continent. The founder of Villa Aburi will walk you through every choice: why this fragrance, why this vessel, why intention matters when you're layering scent into glass. You will use the same formula you created for your candle and create the room spray. And in ninety minutes, you will understand something you didn't before.

When you light that candle at home, you won't just smell it. You'll remember the hands that shaped it, the choices you made, the moment you understood that beautiful things don't happen by accident.

The Vessel

Before you pour a single drop of fragrance, you hold something that already carries intention. What you hold is mouth-blown glass from Morocco. It is not mass-produced. It has weight. It has form.

When the founder walks you through the process, you will understand that this is not an empty container waiting to be filled. This is a maker's vision, complete in itself. You are not starting from nothing. You are completing something that began on another continent, in the hands of another artisan.

When you leave, you will carry that vessel home. The candle you make in it holds its meaning for you.

The Fragrance

Villa Aburi does not design scents in labs. Their fragrances are inspired by the botanicals of Aburi Botanical Gardens in Ghana, and layered by someone who has spent years understanding how these elements move together. You will choose from a range of fragrances. Florals. Musks. Fruity notes. Each one blended from essential oils and absolutes. It's phthalate-free. What you burn is intention, crafted with care.

When the founder tells you the story behind each fragrance, you will hear about specific plants, specific choices, specific reasons. Labdanum. Cedarwood. Each one chosen because it means something. Because it creates a moment. The candle itself is made from a pure wax blend: apricot, coconut, and soy. Safe, eco-friendly, and crafted to burn cleanly. A premium cotton wick. Everything chosen because it matters.

The fragrance you choose will smell like intention. Like knowledge. Like someone who understands that scent becomes the invisible architecture of your home.
