Advanced Perfume Seminar: Pyrazines (in person)
–
Pyrazines are crucial in many perfume notes, mostly in gourmand scents. They can be used to enhance bready, nutty, and roasted effects, and adding notes of coffee, popcorn, butter, rice, and matcha, among others. As useful as they are, they are potent, and can be hard to work with.
In this class, Spyros Drosopoulos leads an exploration of these difficult materials in a theory-oriented exploration of potent, roasted, bready pyrazines.
We will start class by smelling a selection of pyrazines, learning how they can be deployed in perfumery to create important effects and impressions. We will also examine and explain several formulas that make use of pyrazines, demonstrating through practical knowledge how to cleverly use these notes in fine fragrance.
Three hours, in person. Must have previous experience blending.
Take-aways:
- A better understanding of how to work with pyrazine materials to create perfume notes and effects
- An overview of perfume materials in the pyrazine category
- Several formulas to work from
