Perfumery is a deeply historic and totally fascinating practice that has been engaged in by humans from the dawn of recorded history. Delve into the magical act of blending in a small group, with all the facts you need to get started in this important expression of creativity.
In these sessions, limited to six people, IAO founder Saskia Wilson-Brown walks attendees through twelve important historical materials. While we smell, Saskia will provide important context and cultural notes on each aromatic, and lead participants through an important process of verbalizing scent: it’s harder than it seems! After we smell, participants will be encouraged to select materials, and we’ll spend the second part of the class making our first trials, with lots of time for group feedback.
Participants leave with a small spray vial of their favorite trial, and – most importantly – the tools and knowledge with which to start their new practice.
