Prerecorded Lecture `1: Making Perfume for Room Diffusers and Lava Rocks
Consider the humble igneous rock known as Scoria. You’ve seen it around, right? It’s often found in sometimes elegant, always decorative aromatic objects. You may know it as a lava rock. It’s the latest thing in room diffusers, and it’s honestly a lot less complicated than candles.
Ashley explores the technicalities of composing for environmental applications in an accessible format. A prerecorded lecture covers composition techniques and specific application needs for environmental scenting, with the necessary technical and creative information to apply their perfumery practice to a new application.
Attendees will also receive a brief overview of scenting for environmental applications.
Prerecorded Lecture 2: Formulating Scents for Candles and Candle Pouring
Perfumer Ashley Eden Kessler explores the technicalities of composing fragrance for candles in an accessible format.
