This Mother’s Day weekend, Sheraton Melbourne is teaming up with Red Hill Candle Co and Red Hill Perfume Co to offer two scent-led workshops: candle making and perfume making. These are designed to help people slow down, make something by hand, and spend time together in a more meaningful way.

Held across Saturday 9 May and Sunday 10 May, each workshop includes sparkling wine, canapés and the chance to create something personal to take home — whether that’s a custom candle or a signature perfume.

For those wanting to mark the weekend with a little more heart and a little more substance, this is a lovely way to do it. You can choose from the following two workshops.

Candle Making Workshop

Create your own scented candle using a wide selection of fragrance notes, from soft florals and creamy vanilla through to warmer, more grounded botanical blends. Guided by a scent specialist, you’ll blend, pour and finish your candle with a personalised label — leaving with something made by hand and uniquely yours.

Perfume Making Workshop

Design your own fragrance and turn it into a 10ml Eau de Parfum to take home. Working through different scent notes and combinations, you’ll create something that feels individual, memorable and entirely your own.

Why We Love It

Scent is one of the most powerful carriers of memory, often taking us back in an instant. Natural fragrance, too, has long been associated with a sense of uplift and wellbeing.

More than a gift, these workshops are about time together — a chance to pause, create and share an experience that lingers well beyond the weekend itself.
