SUMMARY:Introduction to Perfume Blending: Structured (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/introduction-to-perfume-blending-structured-in-person-tickets-1984794855843 \n– \nJoin us for a structured approacg to perfume blending. This class is designed for newcomers and beginners of the craft as an onboarding to working with scent at the Institute for Art and Olfaction. \nIn this class\, Minetta Rogers will introduce you to the foundational terminology and techniques of perfumery as we guide you through the steps of working with aromatic materials in our labspace. The class will begin with a guided smelling session that introduces you to the world of aromatic materials. You’ll smell a selection of materials from our organ that shine light on the difference between naturals\, synthetics\, and bases; top\, middle\, and base notes; and different dilutions and odor intensities. As a group\, you’ll take part in several group blending exercises to demonstrate proper technique in writing perfume formula iterations and blending scent trials.The second portion of the class is dedicated to individual blending time\, with a selection of 5 materials chosen and decanted into blending vials by you. \nMinetta Rogers is here to assist with material selection\, formula tweaking\, and basic perfume arithmetic as you experiment\, explore\, and learn. At the end of class\, you’ll take home 5 aromatic materials\, a final spray vial of your own formulated blend\, and perfume-making knowledge!

SUMMARY:Introduction to Perfume Blending: Freestyle (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/introduction-to-perfume-blending-freestyle-in-person-tickets-1984780808828 \n– \nJoin us for Introduction to Blending\, a class for beginners to perfumery that is focused on learning how to blend with aromatic materials\, and how to create (and balance) a formula. Perfume-lovers and burgeoning olfactory artists have the opportunity to jump right into making their scent dreams a reality\, with access to the hundreds of aromatic materials in the IAO lab space. \nThe class will begin with a quick primer to the world of aromatic materials: synthetics vs. naturals\, top/middle/base notes\, and dilutions. Participants will be guided through the process of setting up a workstation and how to write a perfume formula\, with proportions and balance in mind. \nThe second portion of the class will be the open exploration of the IAO Organ by all participants. After making individual selections\, we will get to blending! With Julianne Lee guiding the class\, each participant will learn to make bold changes\, subtle refinements\, and expand their final formula into a small spray vial to take home.

SUMMARY:“What’s That Smell?" An Olfactory Game of Nose Training (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/whats-that-smell-an-olfactory-game-of-nose-training-in-person-tickets-1986361609044?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nWould a rose by any other name smell as sweet? Let’s find out! \n“What’s that Smell?” is a game night that puts your nose to the test. Participants are presented with 10 aromatic materials\, all anonymous\, to sniff\, reflect\, and possibly identify. After recording impressions and best guesses\, the group will collectively share olfactory impressions\, after which we will unveil the aromatic materials’ identities and characters. \nJoin us for this engaging and educational encounter: Meet new\, strange (to you!) molecules with fellow smell-hounds\, while you develop your skills of olfactory recall. \nTopics covered: \n+ An introduction to nose training for scent enthusiasts and budding perfumers \n+ Encounter unknown aromatic materials in a fun communal setting \n+ Add to your olfactory recall and knowledge \nTake-Aways: \n+ Foundational education in olfactory recall and material evaluation \n+ A new enthusiasm for the building blocks of perfumery \n+ One of the most fun experiences of your life

SUMMARY:The Art and Craft of Perfumery:  History\, Extraction\, and Formulation Intensive
DESCRIPTION:Learn more: https://www.bravanariz.com/en/product/the-art-craft-of-perfumery-14-06-26-20-06-26-7-days/ \nSadly\, this event is sold out. \n— \nPerfumery is a complex practice. For this reason\, it is often presented and taught in the context of oppositions: natural versus synthetic\, historic versus contemporary. These dualities present a divisive approach to perfumery\, which serves only to fracture and limit the potential of the practice. \nMas Flaquer is a regenerative farm outside Barcelona which serves as the headquarters for Spanish perfume brand Bravanariz\, It is here that Ernesto Collado\, Spyros Drosopoulos and Saskia Wilson-Brown combine their areas of expertise to present a six day perfume intensive that approaches the practice with a holistic and inclusive lens. \nThrough a combination of field work\, hands-on blending time\, and lectures\, this intensive will highlight the connections between diverse ways of working: It will focus on how to interrelate natural sourcing and extraction strategies\, modern chemistry\, technical perfumery\, and experimentation. In this way\, this intensive will provide participants with an expansive understanding of all the possibilities for their craft\, and a fuller appreciation of what is possible with scent. \nNOTE: This class is administered by Mas Flaquer\, in Spain\, not the IAO. \n
