SUMMARY:Citrus\, Raw to Refined: A Natural Perfume Workshop (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Learn more: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/citrus-raw-to-refined-a-natural-perfume-workshop-in-person-tickets-1992797105788?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \n\n\nLearn how to think and design like a natural perfumer\, using solely botanical materials. Citrus\, Raw to Refined is a sensory-driven class designed to introduce beginners to perfumery\, and to learn to work with a palette of natural materials. \n\n\n\n\nCLASS PROGRAM \nPerfumer Jeffrey Paul leads an immersive introduction to natural perfumery\, with a focus on citrus materials and the Eau de Cologne fragrance category. Over several hours\, participants will smell and assess beautiful natural aromatics and learn to create classic Eau de Cologne structures using a palette that includes fresh citruses\, aromatic herbs\, elegant woods\, and some unexpected surprises. \nThis class will help train your nose while sharpening your olfactory perception\, providing the tools and knowledge that will allow you to transform a handful of raw aromatics into a traditional\, structured cologne\, based on your own formula developed in class. \nABOUT THE RAW TO REFINED CLASSES \nInspired by the methodology of Jean Carles\, the Raw tothe Refined classes are rooted in materiality. Each class begins with a smelling session\, where participants will discover a group of curated materials chosen to support the olfactory topic of the day. Over repeated scent evaluations\, students learn to sharpen their olfactory perception\, a crucial tool in learning to blend perfumery. Students will then be guided through the process of building a blend on top of a foundational citrus-eau de cologne accord to create a fragrance that is rooted in a strong concept and specific fragrance family. \nIn these classes\, perfumer Jeffrey Paul will teach you how to transform olfactory instinct into blending based on a foundation of critical evaluation and an appreciation for the complexity of natural materials. The classes aim to provide a foundation of knowledge about material extraction and fragrance families\, and techniques for blind smelling and formulation\, resulting in a clear\, repeatable method for perfume creation. \nSpecific class themes will progress seasonally\, with citrus in the summer\, woods and resins in the fall\, gourmand compositions in the winter\, and florals in the spring. While each class can be taken as a stand-alone experience\, the full series helps build skills\, over time. \nTOPICS COVERED: \n+ Odor evaluation: How to smell and appreciate perfume materials (and reset your senses!) \n+ Guided reflection: Documenting smell experiences and ideating for perfumemaking \n+ Material understanding: Learning about the qualities and extraction of the chosen ingredients \n+ Structural accord construction: Construction of a group accord with an emphasis on formulation techniques \n+ Sensory brief creation: The development of a sensory brief in class\, with the knowledge required to further refine it\, after class

SUMMARY:Herbal Smells: Perfume-Making Workshop (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/herbal-smells-perfume-making-workshop-in-person-tickets-1992783954452?aff=oddtdtcreator \n– \n\n\nJoin Minetta Rogers for a guided blending session celebrating the herb garden — and\, of course\, perfume-making! For beginners\, but all levels are welcome. \n\n\n\n\nFor the first portion of this smelling and blending session\, we will learn about some smells of summer and scents associated with the herb garden. Scent strips will be handed out by your friendly Institute for Art and Olfaction team\, and we will spend time smelling and discussing our impressions of aromatic materials associated with the season. \nWe will start the second portion of the session by briefly discussing and practicing blending scent. Each student will have the opportunity to blend with aromatic materials from the session’s selected palette. We will spend the rest of the session experimenting with our own short formulas. \nEach attendee goes home with a small trial of their aromatic blend.

Bring your own materials or purchase small quantities from us. \nOur open sessions for returning students only are designed as an informal\, convivial space in which to co-work with other perfumers. Relaxed and self-directed (don’t worry\, we’re here to help)\, these sessions are a great chance to refine a formula\, work out an idea or just hang out with like-minded colleagues. Let’s learn from each other\, and make new friends. \nRelaxed and self-directed\, these informal sessions are a great chance to refine your blending techniques in the presence of other scent enthusiasts and #friendswithpipettes.

These Open Sessions for Returning Students Only are designed precisely for newcomers who have already attended one Open Session for First Timers\, intermediate perfumers who want to explore new materials\, or advanced perfumers who want to co-work with a diverse and creative community. \nAs a returning student\, you will be able to independently tinker with materials of your choice in a casual\, social setting.We have everything you need: aromatic materials (natural\, synthetic\, and some accords)\, beakers and droppers\, scent strips and bottles… All you need to bring is a notebook\, and and open mind. Down the rabbit hole you go!
