Join us for Introduction to Blending, a class for beginners of the craft, focused on learning how to blend with aromatic materials and balance a formula. Perfume-lovers and burgeoning olfactory artists have the opportunity to jump right into making their desired scent-dreams into reality with access to the hundreds of aromatic materials in the IAO labspace.
The 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.
The 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.
