Let’s learn from each other\, and make new friends. \nRelaxed and self-directed\, these informal sessions are a great chance to refine your blending techniques in the presence of other scent enthusiasts and #friendswithpipettes. Open Sessions are the IAO’s longest running program. These Open Sessions for Returning Students Only are designed precisely for newcomers who have already attended one Open Session for First Timers\, intermediate perfumers who want to explore new materials\, or advanced perfumers who want to co-work with a diverse and creative community. \nAs a returning student\, you will be able to independently tinker with materials of your choice in a casual\, social setting.We have everything you need: aromatic materials (natural\, synthetic\, and some accords)\, beakers and droppers\, scent strips and bottles… All you need to bring is a notebook\, and and open mind. Down the rabbit hole you go!

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 aromatic materials associated with the season. \nWe will start the second portion of the session by briefly discussing and practicing blending scent. Each student will have the opportunity to blend with aromatic materials from the session’s selected palette. We will spend the rest of the session experimenting with our own short formulas. \nEach attendee goes home with a small trial of their aromatic blend.
