Testimonials
"We spent Mother's Day with my Mom and daughter at one of Susan Farber's Sol Aromatics Perfume Workshops. We had an amazing day blending our all-natural scent. We called it "Mama Mia" for Mother's Day. I highly recommend Susan Farber's workshops! We are planning on doing another one with her soon! " - from a participant.
Susan's perfume-making class was very enjoyable. It's clear how knowledgeable Susan is about essential oils and how to create appealing and personal perfumes. My daughter and I had fun learning about the process of making our own perfume. It was a bonding experience, and I highly recommend it. Susan took great care in explaining each step and adding an element of fun. Thanks, Susan, for your expertise! ~~~ Maryejo del Meijer, MA, LMT
