SUMMARY:Eleven Week Perfume Materials Course - Module 2 (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/eleven-week-perfume-materials-course-module-2-tickets-1988493959963 \n– \n\n\nAshley Eden Kessler leads module 2 of her popular online materials course\, over eleven sessions spent exploring the crucial materials in the perfumers’ organ. This slow\, steady emphasis on deep sensorial study provides an indispensable first step in learning perfumery\, and an opportunity to grow a technical familiarity with perfume materials. \nRegistration for US-based students includes a materials kit (55 materials\, scent strips). \nAll attendees are invited to join live on zoom or catch the class as a video replay: All registrations provide access to the live zoom sessions and 11 week replay access to the recorded sessions. Recording access for all sessions will end on December 28\, 2026. \nThis is Module 2 of a total of three modules. These modules are not consecutive: any student can start at any module (though modules one and two cover more commonly used materials). This module is appropriate for beginners and intermediate perfumers alike. \nClass Experience\nIn each 2-hour online session\, Ashley will lead attendees in smelling and discussing five crucial perfume materials of natural and synthetic origin. Over the eleven total sessions offered in this course\, the group will systematically go through the course material\, category by category. We thoughtfully explore the function\, aesthetics and technicalities of each material in the context of other aromatics from its fragrance family. \nEach session focuses on our unique experience with the materials. By sharing these experiences\, we work towards developing a language\, both personal and communal\, for our experience of scent. Through this course\, participants will gain fluency in the most important molecules of modern perfumery. Growing a familiarity with the materials is\, after all\, a crucial first step in practicing perfumery. \nThere is a lot to gain from this slow-paced work. For newcomers to fragrance\, this intimate knowledge of the materials is indispensable\, offering a grounding and deeply enriching practice that brings us into the present and connects us more deeply to our lived experience—and our creativity. For more experienced perfumers\, the class presents an opportunity to enrich the process and technical knowledge necessary to mastery. \n\nClasses take place on Mondays\, 10 am – 12 pm PT (Pacific Time) \nSep 28\, 2026 – Week 1 Fruity Synthetic \nOct 5\, 2026 – Week 2 Fruity Aldehyde\, Violet Synthetic \nOct 12\, 2026 – Week 3 Rosy Natural \nOct 19\, 2026 – Week 4 Rosy Synthetic \nOct 26\, 2026 – Week 5 Rosy Synthetic\, Oranger Synthetic \nNov 2\, 2026 – Week 6 Oranger Natural\, Jasmine Natural \nNov 9\, 2026 – Week 7 Jasmine Synthetic \nNov 16\, 2026 – Week 8 Marine Synthetic\, Marine Natural\, Green Aquatic \nNov 23\, 2026 – Week 9 Floral Natural \nNov 30\, 2026 – Week 10 Ambery Synthetic \nDec 7\, 2026 – Week 11 Ambery/Sweet Natural

SUMMARY:Unconventional Perfume Blending: Petrichor Accord (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unconventional-perfume-blending-petrichor-accord-in-person-tickets-1997637326017?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \n\n\nJoin us in exploring the world of wet\, earthy petrichor and go home with your own accords of the earth after the rain. \n\n\n\n\nPetrichor. Unless you’ve been living under a rock (soon to be rained upon)\, you may have heard this word\, defined by the Merriam-Webster Dictionary as: “a distinctive\, earthy\, usually pleasant odor that is associated with rainfall especially when following a warm\, dry period and that arises from a combination of volatile plant oils and geosmin released from the soil into the air and by ozone carried by downdrafts”. \nSo\, the scent of earth after the rain! Petrichor’s etymology is somewhat more poetic: Australian researchers Bear and Grenfell coined the term in 1964\, using the Greek root petras\, or stone\, and ichor\, or the fluid in the vein of the Gods. \nIn “Unconventional Perfume Blending: Petrichor Accord\,” led by instructor Julianne Lee\, we’ll start by enjoying some perfumes from the IAO Collections that feature the note of petrichor. Next\, we’ll smell a bevy of molecules and natural materials that evoke petrichor in its many forms: wet\, earthy\, humid\, mushroomy\, concrete. You’ll then play with those materials and practice balancing a formula. Is your petrichor rising from the sun-baked desert or from the gridlocked city streets? \nWe recommend having at least one IAO class under your belt\, but beginners are completely welcome. By the end of class\, you’ll leave with your own petrichor accord formula in hand\, along with a working understanding of accord-building that you can apply to any other fragrance notes. \n\nImage: Roman Synkevych\,  www.unsplash.com
