Smelling the Fragrance Wheel (in person)
April 15 @ 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm PDT
$55.00
–
Join us for a guided smelling session that introduces different important materials from around the fragrance wheel.
Scent strips will be handed out by your friendly Institute for Art and Olfaction team, and we will spend time smelling and discussing our impressions of these materials.
This class is an introduction to the materials you may encounter in your favorite perfumes, or that may incorporate as an independent perfumer or olfactory artist. The session will assist you in your familiarity with fragrance materials as you enter your journey into the world of scent.
