Perfumer Laurie Stern gives a demonstration on the making of Hydrosols.
Perfumer Laurie Stern and her husband, landscape architect Gary Lazar, opened their lushly scented gardens to this year's Secret Gardens of the East Bay tour, a benefit for Oakland's Park Day School. Throughout the day Laurie welcomed tour-goers to the garden she considers both a scented refuge and her natural laboratory, demonstrating some of the techniques she uses to incorporate the bounty of this "Perfumer's Garden" into her hand-blended natural botanical perfumes.
