Aromas Around the World: A Scent & Culture Hands-on Experience

Access

About

For one day only during Culture Days, The Wellness Studio by Cicco Aroma invites you to experience Aromas Around the World: A Scent & Culture Walk-In Experience, a pay-what-you-may workshop exploring the beautiful connection between scent, culture, memory, and identity.

Scent is one of the most powerful ways we connect to people, places, traditions, and moments. Across cultures, aromas show up in food, celebrations, rituals, beauty practices, wellness traditions, family homes, markets, gardens, and everyday care. A single fragrance note can remind us of where we come from, who raised us, what we celebrate, and the stories we carry.

During this guided mini experience, guests will explore a curated scent station featuring fragrance notes inspired by different regions, ingredients, and cultural traditions. From florals and citrus to woods, spices, herbs, and resins, each scent will invite guests to pause, reflect, and connect it to a memory, feeling, place, or story.

Guests will then create their aroma blend for their mini take-home perfume roller pr spray, depending on available materials.

This is not a formal perfume-making class. It is a relaxed hands-on Culture Days experience created to spark curiosity, conversation, and connection. Families, Groups, and Solo aroma explorers welcome.

The Wellness Studio by Cicco Aroma

The Wellness Studio by Cicco Aroma is a creative wellness studio in Vaughan, co-owned by Madonna and Dylan — partners in life, business, and community-building.

What began as Cicco Aroma, a plant-based wellness brand launched in 2019, has grown into a hands-on studio where people gather to make, connect, celebrate, and curate their own care. Year-round, we host wellness-inspired workshops, private events, corporate experiences, youth programming, and community activations centred around candles, perfume, body care, art, scent, and self-expression.

Our work is deeply connected to who we are. Madonna was born in Uganda and brings inspiration from African culture, storytelling, natural ingredients, and community care. Dylan brings his Jamaican/Caribbean heritage, along with his creative eye as a photographer and storyteller. Together, our backgrounds shape the warmth, colour, and intention behind the studio.

For Culture Days, our vision is to open our doors wider through free and pay-what-you-may experiences that invite the community to explore creativity, wellness, and culture in an accessible way. We want guests to feel welcomed, try something new, support local creativity, and leave with something meaningful they made by hand.
