Candle & Perfume Workshops
Aquilaria Port is a fragrance wellness brand crafting artisan natural fragrances, from hand-poured candles to pocket sprays, set in genuine crystal and marble vessels.
We host workshops at corporate offices, pop-up markets and private events, designed to help participants step away from the noise of daily life and into a relaxing sensory experience. Through guided scent work, we help you unwind and settle into a calmer, more creative state.
Premium Natural Candle & Perfume Workshop
Our two signature sessions, the Premium Natural Candle Workshop and the Premium Natural Perfume Workshop, guide participants in creating their own take-home piece from our signature collection. Each begins with a knowledge session on what separates an amateur blend from an advanced one, and closes with a playful scent quiz that gets the room talking, guessing and bonding over fragrance.
Throughout the session, we serve sparkling tea and refreshments, a live example of how scent and taste intertwine. You’ll also learn how natural fragrances and waxes differ from artificial ones, so you can make informed choices about what you bring into your home, for your health and for the environment.

Your Workshop Facilitator
Michelle Wong
Michelle is the founder of Aquilaria Port. She began learning candle-making and perfumery with artificial materials, which were easier to control and cheaper for a beginner. Over time, she built up a large stock of artificial fragrance oils at home, and the overpowering, clashing scents left her with stuffy air and frequent headaches. Just as she thought she might fall out of love with perfumery, she discovered natural fragrances made from materials such as essential oils and natural waxes. The results didn’t just smell better; they turned her workspace into a soothing sanctuary.
She started making candles and perfumes for friends and family, and before she knew it, she had built a brand offering only natural fragrance products. Today, she leads every workshop personally, sharing the lessons she learned along the way.
