–
Starting May 14!
Perfumer Ashley Eden Kessler leads an eleven week session exploring the crucial materials in the perfumers’ organ: an indispensable first step in practicing perfumery and an opportunity to grow a technical familiarity with the materials. This is module one of a total of three modules. These modules are not consecutive: any student can start at any module (though modules 1 and 2 cover more commonly used materials). Beginners are welcome!
In each 2 hour online session, Ashley will lead the class in smelling and discussing five crucial perfume materials – both naturals and synthetics. Over eleven Tuesday sessions, we will systematically go through the materials organ category by category, going into the function, aesthetics and technicalities of each material and its fragrance family.
Participants will leave with a fluency in the most important molecules of modern perfumery.
For beginners, this class presents an indispensable first step in practicing perfumery and growing your familiarity with the materials. For more experienced perfumers, the class presents an opportunity to enrich your process and technical abilities.
