SUMMARY:The Margins of Good Taste: Perfume and its Producers in Ancient Greece (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-margins-of-good-taste-perfume-and-its-producers-in-ancient-greece-tickets-1992158985152?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nSean Coughlin presents research into attitudes and positions towards perfumery in the Ancient Greek world. Ancient perfumery in the Greek world wasn’t a Greek practice\, or at least according to many in power it was not supposed to be. It was something done by women\, enslaved workers\, foreigners\, and migrants — people the literary record either erases or moralizes about. This talk reads the sources for the practitioners rather than the moralists\, and asks what we learn about a craft economy whose expertise sat with people the elite considered suspect. \nThe presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with attendees. \nOlfactory Research Notes is a lecture series presented by the Institute for Art and Olfaction that highlights important research done in the field of olfaction\, directly from the scientists\, researchers\, academics\, and artists who do it. \n– \nImage credits: George E.

She will touch on both the individual botanical materials as well as techniques and strategies for blending and using scents in a multifaith approach\, exploring the role of scent in Greek\, Norse\, Celtic and Yoruban spiritual practices. What scent softens Zeus? What is the best offering for Hecate or Loki? Does Odin even like scent? Recipes\, spells\, and divine practices for your magical practices await. \n

SUMMARY:Balancing Act: Grave Matters (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/balancing-act-grave-matters-in-person-tickets-1999421155499?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \n\n\nMake one strange scent worthy of the Halloween season\, using a Jean Carles approach to perfume composition\, in person with Daniel Krasofski. \n\n\n\n\nDaniel Krasofski presents Balancing Act: Grave Matters an interpretive class exploring a Jean Carles approach to perfume composition by making one strange scent worthy of the Halloween season. \nThis Halloween-season edition of Balancing Act invites participants to create a perfume around one unusual and evocative idea: dirt – which is more atmospheric than traditionally “pretty.” Following the familiar Balancing Act format\, we will work through a softened\, interpretive approach to the Jean Carles method\, using proportion\, comparison\, and repeated trials to understand how a composition takes shape. Rather than trying to make every spooky scent at once\, a reliable way to summon chaos\, we will focus deeply on one accord and observe how individual materials affect its texture\, balance\, mood\, and recognizability. We will explore how an earthy\, metallic\, mineral\, animalic\, or decaying impression can become compelling\, nuanced\, and perhaps even unexpectedly beautiful. Participants will leave with a structured set of trials and an original fragrance sketch: proof that sometimes the monster under the bed simply needs better proportions.
