Event information
Guided by Follow Your Nose's founder, Justin Williams, participants start the morning with a cup of home-brewed tea, a special fynbos blend.
They also learn about the art of perfumery and get acquainted with fragrant materials through an educational introduction to plants and perfume, before taking a walk through the flourishing fynbos habitat where dozens of plants and flowers have stories to tell and unique scents to discover.
Justin grew up spending time hiking on mountainous trails and foraging along the coastlines around his home town. Having access to these spaces with a curiosity for nature, he developed a keen interest in foraging, mycology and ethnobotany over time, acquiring knowledge that has since earned him the reputation in Cape Town as an expert on edible fungi and medicinal herbs.
During lockdown in 2020, Justin began building a scent library – initially a collection of a few indigenous scent materials which has since grown to dozens of interesting essential oils, absolutes, extracts, tinctures and isolates. He is now one of a small handful of perfumers in South Africa, using local and unique materials to create fragrances.
