Hi! My name is Laura, and i'm the owner, CEO, maker, HR, social media manager of all things Borough Home. I started my brand in 2021 with a passion for fragrance and making high quality handmade scented products that transform your spaces and mood.
I also teach fragrance workshops locally in Portland, Oregon. Being able to share my knowledge and passion for fragrance with others in my community has been one of the most surprising and fulfilling aspects of my career. Because scent is so personal, it makes every class and gathering a discovery of someone's experience.
My fragrance workshops are centered around fragrance blending: in my 2-hour class I help students learn how to use their nose to prevent burnout, smell and evaluate different materials and then blend various scent profiles to achieve a unique and personalized scented product.
I love to start the class with an introduction of everyone and their favorite scent memory, personal fragrance they enjoy or fragrance notes they really love. Everyone comes with something different and new and listening to others' scent memories is truly special and tells me a little of who they are.
My fragrance workshops are hands-on, interactive and invite peer to peer collaboration, advice and encouragement as we create unique perfume oils, room sprays and body oils together. When our class is over everyone has made a scented product that is truly one-of-a-kind.
If you are looking for an experience in Portland, Oregon that is unique, interactive and sensorial, I'd love to host your next gathering, party, team building event or private fragrance workshop. I am able to host small gatherings of up to 6 in my North Portland-area studio or come to your event space. I also host virtual workshops seasonally, check out Instagram for the latest news!
