Bring your own materials or purchase small quantities from us. \nOur open sessions for returning students only are designed as an informal\, convivial space in which to co-work with other perfumers. Relaxed and self-directed (don’t worry\, we’re here to help)\, these sessions are a great chance to refine a formula\, work out an idea or just hang out with like-minded colleagues. 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!

SUMMARY:Tracing Perfume: Fruits (in person)

How did aromatic materials influence perfumery? How did perfumers draw from the same source to produce such diverse expressions? Each class in this series explores the most important perfumes in 20th and 21st perfumery from the perspective of the materials that inform them. \nIn this class\, Dana covers perfumes highlighting  fruits\, including peach\, mango\, fig\, and tomato leaf. She will explore the material provenance\, aromatic aspects\, and notable perfumes that make use of these  notes in various ways. Then\, as a group\, the class will smell and discuss a series of notes and perfumes that elucidate the category. \n\n\n\n\nTopics covered: \nHistory and cultural impact of perfume materials\nTechnical information about perfume materials\nOverview of these materials in classic\, contemporary\, mass market\, and niche perfumes \n\n  \n– \nPhoto of mango by Allec Gomes on Unsplash

SUMMARY:Lectures on Tap: Culture and Perfume (in person)

Drawing from her research for her upcoming book\, The Cultures of Perfume: Scents That Shaped History(releasing in November\, by D.A.P.)\, she will start the talk with a brief history of perfume\, going on to explore how jasmine perfumes have been historically intertwined with narratives of seduction. We will then smell musk\, and investigate its role in narratives of power in key Islamic texts and 18th century France. The talk ends with bergamot\, and how its use in Eau de Cologne impacted religious practices in the Americas. Join us for a lively exploration of scent’s role in the human experience. \nLocation shared upon signup.
