🌿 Behind the Blends
About Us
✨ Our Story
What started as a simple passion for fragrance during my teenage years slowly grew into something much bigger.
From experimenting with scent oils and blending perfumes for fun, to sharing creations with friends and family, fragrance became a creative outlet that brought people together. Over time, those small moments of experimenting and discovering new scent combinations turned into a deeper appreciation for the art of perfumery.
That personal enjoyment bloomed into a full-blown movement to share that joy with others here in Upstate New York.
Rooted in Albany, NY, and inspired by the rich traditions of our Middle Eastern background, we believe every scent tells a story, and every person deserves the chance to craft their own.
Whether you’re exploring on your own or bringing friends and family along, our goal is to make the experience fun, welcoming, and unforgettable.
Through our hands-on sessions, guests are invited to immerse themselves in the art of perfumery.
We introduce the fundamentals of fragrance, explore over 100 scent oils, experiment with essential oils, learn approachable blending techniques, and craft perfumes that capture your individuality.
At COSMOVA, we're blending and bottling memories!

✨ Our Scent Library
At COSMOVA, you’ll explore a fragrance library of over 100 scent oils, giving you endless possibilities to design a perfume that is completely your own. Our collection includes a wide range of notes used in professional perfumery, from bright citrus and delicate florals to warm woods, spices, and sweet gourmand accords.
You may discover fresh and uplifting notes like Bergamot, Grapefruit, Lemon, Lime, Mandarin, and Yuzu, soft florals such as Rose, Jasmine, Magnolia, Peony, Tuberose, and Lily of the Valley, and fruity accents like Apple, Peach, Pear, Mango, Raspberry, and Apricot.
For those who love warm and comforting fragrances, we offer gourmand notes like Vanilla, Caramel, Chocolate, Honey, Coconut, Almond, and Praline Accord.
Our deeper base notes include Sandalwood, Oud (Agarwood), Vetiver, Patchouli, Cedarwood, Oakmoss, and Musk, which add richness, warmth, and lasting power to your blend.
You’ll also experience unique perfumer ingredients such as ISO E Super, Hedione, Evernyl, Amber, and Styrax, which help create depth, projection, and balance within your fragrance.
With such a diverse palette, every guest can experiment freely and craft a scent that is completely personal, memorable, and uniquely theirs. 🌸✨

Several guests ask about the tea that I serve during the sessions, so for those who are interested in trying it at home, I’ve included the name, a photo, and the website below.
You can also often find this tea at your local Middle Eastern or Mediterranean grocery store if you prefer to purchase it in person.I hope you enjoy it as much as we do during the workshops!
