Led by Saskia Wilson-Brown, the founder and director of The Institute for Art and Olfaction, this course will provide an overview of perfumery—from the history and foundations of the craft to the contemporary industry and experimental perfume practices. Starting with the basics of lab safety for your at-home studio, Saskia will provide a humor-laced, facts-based introduction to the art and science of working with scent. Together, we’ll explore fragrance families, materials of natural and synthetic origin, and lab work. We’ll look at a historic formula, spend time smelling our materials, create several short perfume formulas, and wrap up the course with a glimpse into the perfume industry with a focus on independent and experimental practices. Get your noses ready and we’ll explore this craft together!
Class meets: Tues. Nov. 7, Tues. Nov. 14, Tues. Nov. 21
