These will include foraging and sustainability\, choosing plants for skin safety\, equipment set-up and recommendations\, and how to work safely. Lakenda will also briefly discuss the creation of absolutes. The online class will end with a list of resources for hands-on tincturing\, with ample time for questions and discussion. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Oud: Perfume Accords (online\, 3 hours)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/oud-perfume-accords-online-3-hour-class-tickets-1964460155206?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nExplore fragrance categories through specific classes designed by The Institute for Art and Olfaction to help new perfumers gain sensory understanding and technical perfumery skills. \nIn the latest of her accords classes\, Ashley leads an investigation into a complex\, deep\, oud perfume accord. Learning how to assemble perfume accords leads to a greater adeptness at blending\, and well-trained noses. Learn how to construct accords as you explore the individual aromatic components of these perfume accords. \nPlease note this class runs 3 hours\, rather than the typical 2 hours\, online. \nOur accords series helps students of perfumery understand the molecular components of the various facets and types of the most important notes in perfumery. By attending this class\, an emerging perfumer or scent artist will expand their capabilities and training\, gain the materials knowledge to add a new accord to their arsenal\, and leave with a deeper understanding of the artistry and science behind perfumery. \nMaterials Needed/Pre-Class Homework: We will send you a master document containing the materials list and formulation exercises upon signup via the confirmation email from Eventbrite. Please purchase these materials before attending class. The estimated cost of the perfume materials is $113\, not including any labware you may need to purchase. The formulation exercises must be accomplished before the class meets. \n\n

SUMMARY:The Margins of Good Taste: Perfume and its Producers in Ancient Greece (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-margins-of-good-taste-perfume-and-its-producers-in-ancient-greece-tickets-1992158985152?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nSean Coughlin presents research into attitudes and positions towards perfumery in the Ancient Greek world. Ancient perfumery in the Greek world wasn’t a Greek practice\, or at least according to many in power it was not supposed to be. It was something done by women\, enslaved workers\, foreigners\, and migrants — people the literary record either erases or moralizes about. This talk reads the sources for the practitioners rather than the moralists\, and asks what we learn about a craft economy whose expertise sat with people the elite considered suspect. \nThe presentation will be followed by a Q&A session with attendees. \nOlfactory Research Notes is a lecture series presented by the Institute for Art and Olfaction that highlights important research done in the field of olfaction\, directly from the scientists\, researchers\, academics\, and artists who do it. \n– \nImage credits: George E.
