Lab Manager | Instructor
Daniel Krasofski is a Los Angeles–based artist and perfumer whose multidisciplinary practice explores memory, ritual, and the transformative power of scent.
Trained in both the visual and olfactory arts, Krasofski teaches at the Institute for Art and Olfaction and has shared his approach to perfume education in academic and international settings, including the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising.
Krasofski began his involvement in the IAO in 2013, when he came as a volunteer to help set up the very first space in downtown Los Angeles. Since then, he has served as a board member, educator, and overall friend to the organization. In 2020, he took on the role of lab manager, stepping in with his characteristic organizational prowess to formalize the IAO’s complicated systems, while also overseeing the formation of the IAO Library, including logging more than a thousand perfumes donated by Conor McTeague.
His research bridges history, material culture, and the emotive language of aromatic compounds. Working closely with private clients to create bespoke olfactory compositions, Krasofski’s work often combines traditional craft materials—such as leather, metal, and plant essences—with contemporary inquiries into literature, healing, and the unseen narratives that scent evokes.
