Private Experiences
Private experiences • with Emma Hyland
Time that is all yours
Step away from the everyday and into a quiet studio full of scent. Guided one-to-one by aromatherapist Emma Hyland, you'll explore beautiful ingredients, learn how they work together, and make something that is entirely your own.
For one to four people. A gift to remember, or a treat for yourself.
The new luxury isn't more things. It's time, attention and something made with your own hands.
How your experience unfolds
The experiences
Scent
Private Scent Experience
Design a signature scent that is yours alone
Explore top, heart and base notes, discover which ones you love, and blend them into a completely bespoke scent. Then take it home as a natural perfume, a candle, a home diffuser, or all three. Emma keeps a record of your formula, so you can come back to it again.
Natural skincare
Private Natural Skincare Experience
Self-care you can take home
Work with natural oils, butters and waxes, learn what each ingredient does for your skin, and choose essential oils to suit you. In one hour you'll make a natural deodorant, a moisturising balm and a lip balm, or choose the 2.5 hour masterclass to go deeper and make more.
Candles
One-to-One Candle Making
A relaxed, unhurried afternoon of scent and wax
Dive into the art of scent while you make a 200ml soy container candle, a reed diffuser, a hand-dipped beeswax candle and soy wax melts. Perfect for anyone who loves candles and wants to learn properly, at their own pace.
Soap
One-to-One Soap Making
The traditional craft of handmade soap
Learn cold process soap making from start to finish: choosing your oils, scenting with essential oils and pouring your own bars to cure and use at home. A lovely, practical skill, guided one-to-one.
Where
A calm studio in the Wicklow hills
Most experiences take place at Amo&Pax Studio in Kilmacanogue, just off the N11 near Bray and easy to reach from Dublin and Wicklow. It's a short walk from Avoca Handweavers, so you can round off your experience with lunch and a browse around the shop.
Sessions can also be arranged at FLUX Studio, Dublin 2, in Glenealy, Co. Wicklow, or Emma can come to you (travel costs may apply).
Giving it as a gift
No date needed to book
Choose the experience and checkout, and Emma will be in touch to arrange a date and time that suits the person you're treating. Perfect for Christmas, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and anyone who is hard to buy for.
Prefer to let them choose? A MuMe gift voucher can be used for any experience.
