CONNECTING SCENTS

 

Claudia de Vos is an aromatherapist, artist and designer from the Netherlands.

The psychodynamics of aromatherapy and the symbolism of scent have an important place in her work. Claudia has an aromatherapy practice, gives lectures and workshops and works actively to promote awareness of aromatherapy in the Netherlands via her company 'Zes zintuigen' (Six senses) and the former SBA foundation.

She has designed a range of Aromatherapycards to help introduce people to aromatherapy and help them in their journey of personal development.

Her new book 'Perfume of Life', where symbolism on plants play a major role, is about to be published. Her latest 'ART and Fragrance project' has just been exposed on the 12th international symposium on aromatherapy in Grasse (F) this march (2010)

As exchange of aromatherapy knowledge is the drive of her company she travels around the world for the latest innovations, traditions and development around aromatherapy and scents.

On these journeys she meets many other inspirering aromatic innovaters.

All of her experiences are incorporated in her lectures, training and publications.

Connecting scents in Grasse (F)

              

 

March 2010

The great International symposium for aromatherapy and Medical Plants in Grasse(F) is a superb meeting place for many Global NOSES.

Claudia was there to present her work on ART and fragrance for the first time abroad. She met many interesting people such as scientists, (ethno)botanists, aroma specialists, perfumers, engineer-disitillers and aroma industrial owners from all over the world.

 

One of them and lecturing on the conference was the American ‘Medicine Hunter’ Chris Kilham. Chris is specialised in finding natural cures and remedies in the out bounds of the world. He wrote several books on the subject and presents his journeys in his televionshow “Medicine Trail” for Fox TV. He takes great effort in creating fair trade between aboriginals and indutries.

Claudia and Chris took the occasion to spend some time in the botanical gardens near Grasse to exchanche visions on ways to nurture nature and the use of medical and aromatic plants. The common thought this afternoon was: if you have experienced the power of natures gifts, you will respect it and never do anything to harm earth.

Connecting scents in Ubud , Bali

         

Januari 2009

UTAMA spice is a true tropical discovery on the paradise Island Bali.

Runned by Ni Wayan Lilir, an Ayurvedic doctor in training, the company has a beautiful range of local essential oils and herbs. Lilir comes from a long family tradition of Balinese natural healers. She was taught by her grandfather and mother. The company was founded by the British Melanie Templer in 1997. Today the company has expanded and provides work for a growing staff.

Claudia de Vos visited the company and enjoyed the purifying scents of Balinese essential oils. Of course, as it is in connecting scents, scents were exchanged . Oils that are rare on Bali, like rose oil, made Lilir very happy. And the beautiful mix of the ‘temple spice’ with  was gladly taken home to Holland. Both parties are hoping on further exchange in the future!
