New · Alchemy Open Studio
You Asked. We Listened.
Many of our Alchemy of Scent guests have asked to come back and create another perfume. So we created something just for them.
Introducing Alchemy Open Studio, an exclusive fragrance blending experience for guests who have already completed Alchemy of Scent.
Our approach
A more thoughtful way to experience fragrance.
Fragrance should add something beautiful to your life, not leave you wondering what you are bringing into your home or putting on your body.
At Mayan Collective, we take a thoughtful approach to scent. Our experiences are built around carefully selected materials, clean fragrance oils, and step-by-step guidance that helps you create something that feels personal to you.
Whether you are blending perfume, pouring a candle, or creating body care, you will learn more about fragrance, explore what you naturally love, and leave with something made by your own hands.
- Thoughtfully selected fragrance oils
- Phthalate-free fragrance
- No dyes in our candles
- Guided by a real fragrance team
Private celebrations
Make the gathering part of the gift.
Birthdays, bridal gatherings, anniversaries, and evenings with friends become more memorable when everyone makes something personal.

Corporate & teams
