SUMMARY:IAO Collections Smelling Session: Men's Department (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/iao-collections-smelling-session-mens-department-in-person-tickets-1996761451252\n–\n\n\nIn this class\, we will smell historically noteworthy and interesting perfumes historically associated with the men’s aisle of the perfumer counter—sourced from the Institute for Art and Olfaction’s collections. This smelling session will be supplemented by fragrance-related multimedia and in-class discussion. \nParticipants will get to smell a curated set of fine fragrances from the IAO Collections in a group setting. Our discussion will focus on the impressions of these scents as well as their concordance with the theme. \nThis session is a unique opportunity to smell and discuss otherwise inaccessible fine fragrances from deep inside our archives. \nNote to returning students: If you have attended past smelling sessions\, there may be some overlap with previous scents from earlier sessions. \n\n\nAbout IAO Collections \nThe IAO Collections is a reference library and archive of books\, perfumes\, aromatic objects\, and ephemera related to scent\, with an emphasis on 20th century perfume and olfactory art. \nThe objects in the IAO Collectons have been gathered since the Institute for Art and Olfaction held its first public event in 2012. In early 2021\, the collections received a substantial influx of materials bequeathed by Conor McTeague – a friend of the IAO and an irreplaceable advocate for the cultural value of perfume. It is in his honor that we embarked upon the project of cataloging his donation of over a thousand perfumes\, and incorporating them into our existing collection. \nLearn more: https://artandolfaction.com/projects/iaocollections/ \n\n\nAbout the Instructor \nTrained in architecture and design\, Minetta Rogers is the director of programs at the IAO and has been teaching newcomers to perfumery for almost a decade. Drawing inspiration from the design approaches that she learned through her studies in architecture and in the field\, she brings an approach to education that is rooted in facts\, curiosity supported by rigorous research\, and design strategies. \n\n\nImportant notes:  \nPlease read before signing up \nYour Eventbrite confirmation contains important instructions for class attendance. Please scroll down on the confirmation email to review. \nAll levels are welcome\, but this session is 18 and up. \nLOCATION \nLocation: We are located in Los Angeles’ historic Chinatown neighborhood\, on a pedestrian street. The IAO is wheelchair accessible. \nStreet Address: 932 Chung King Road Los Angeles CA\, 90012 \nTo find us: Chung King Road is a pedestrian-only road that runs parallel to Hill Street\, between Hill St and Yale St. See more information here: http://artandolfaction.com/visit \nATTENDANCE AND CANCELLATION POLICY FOR IN PERSON CLASSES \nPlease note that you must reserve your space in advance. If you just show up without reserving a spot\, there is no guarantee we will be able to accommodate you. \nWhen we host a class or workshop\, we often order the materials to be used in the class well in advance\, based on how many people have signed up (and padding a bit for safety). We also use class proceeds to pay our teachers. Although we realize that life has a funny way of getting in the way of the best laid plans\, as a small non-profit we cannot afford to carry the burden of lost proceeds and materials. \n– Cancellation with refund made 1 week or more (7 days) before the scheduled session will be honored UNLESS materials or formulas have been shared in advance. \n– Refunds requested 1 week or less before the class starts\, on the day of the classor after the class has happened will not be granted. \nPlease review our cancellation policy here: https://artandolfaction.com/educationatiao/cancellation-policy/ \nThank you for understanding! \n\n\nImage credits: Pexels\, Institute for Art and Olfaction
