SUMMARY:Amber: Perfume  Accords (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/amber-perfume-accords-online-tickets-2002245766988?aff=ebdsoporgprofile\n\n–\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.In the latest of her accords classes\, Ashley leads an investigation into two perfume accords: a rich\, traditional amber accord and a streamlined amber DNA 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. \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 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 between $118\, not including any labware you may need to purchase. The formulation exercises must be accomplished before the class meets. \nTakeaways: \n\nTechnical knowledge about the molecular components of the material being reconstructed through the perfume accord\nA greater familiarity with aromatic components and combinations\nThe capacity to reconstruct the material through its components\n\nImportant notes: \nSafety Note: Some aromatic materials can have side effects when applied to skin. The information and teaching materials presented in our classes are for educational purposes only. These are not intended for commercial use and do not necessarily reflect commercial best practices or industry safety standards. For more information about commercial best practices and safety\, consult the relevant authorities in your country of residence. \nPlease read before signing up: Materials are required for this class\, and must be purchased separately\, before class takes place. The materials list and the teaching formula are sent upon signup\, and can be found at the bottom of the confirmation email from Eventbrite. Because the formula is provided upon signup\, we do not allow cancellations for these classes. We share the recording for each class for 30 days after class takes place\, and will send the recording for review via email after the class is over. \nPlease see our full attendance and refund policy below. \n—- \n\n\nABOUT THE PERFUME ACCORDS CLASS SERIES \nAshley Eden Kessler’s accords classes provide attendees with a thorough study of important perfume accords for perfumers. Her online sessions will focus on helping students understand the molecular components of the various facets and types of the material by exploring and picking apart a formula\, over several trials. Materials must be purchased in advance and students are expected to make the all steps of the perfume accord’s formula before class starts. \nBy attending these classes\, an emerging perfumer or scent artist will expand their capabilities and training\, gain the materials knowledge to add various fragrance components to their arsenal\, and leave with a deeper understanding of the artistry and science behind perfumery. It’s technical blending at its best\, leading to a greater adeptness at blending\, and very well-trained noses. \nStudents must purchase\, dilute\, and blend materials before the start of class. Materials lists and formulas are sent as part of the confirmation email from Eventbrite. \n– \n\n\nImage credit: Institute for Art and Olfaction.

SUMMARY:Tracing Perfume: Rose (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tracing-perfume-rose-in-person-tickets-2003633433536?aff=ebdsoporgprofile\n\n–\n\n\nDana El Masri explores the history of fine fragrance through a series of classes that cover the genealogy of scent. How did aromatic materials influence perfumery? How did perfumers draw from the same source to produce such diverse expressions? Each class in this series explores the most important perfumes in 20th and 21st perfumery from the perspective of the materials that inform them. \nIn this class\, Dana covers perfumes highlighting rose. She will explore the material provenance\, aromatic aspects\, and notable perfumes that make use of these rose notes in various ways. Then\, as a group\, the class will smell and discuss a series of notes and perfumes that elucidate the category. \n\n\nTOPICS COVERED \n\nHistory and cultural impact of perfume materials\nTechnical information about perfume materials\nOverview of these materials in classic\, contemporary\, mass market\, and niche perfumes\n\nMaterials: There are no materials required for this class. The information and teaching materials presented in our classes are for educational purposes only. For more information about commercial best practices and safety\, consult the relevant authorities in your country of residence. \nPlease read our cancellation policy (lower down on this page) before signing up! \n\n\nABOUT THE TRACING PERFUMES SERIES \nDana El Masri’s perfume history and culture classes explore the genealogy of perfumery\, and present a chance to explore perfume history through direct experience: Smelling the trajectory of a category in fine fragrance. Each session starts with an overview of the material\, after which Dana shares a brief history and the cultural impact of the covered materials\, as well as technical information such as extraction methods and countries of origin. The class then examines the classic\, contemporary\, mass market and niche applications of these materials by looking at (and smelling) important perfumes. \n\n\n– \nPhotos of rose: Anita Austvika For Unsplash+; engin akyurt For Unsplash+.
