SUMMARY:Tracing Perfume: Animalics/Musks (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tracing-perfume-animalicsmusks-in-person-tickets-1994984319804\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 animalics and musks. She will explore the material provenance\, aromatic aspects\, and notable perfumes that make use of these animalic and musky 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  \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR \nDana El Masri is an Arab-Canadian perfumer & interdisciplinary artist. \nShe was trained at the Grasse Institute of Perfumery\, with a BA in Communication Studies from Concordia University. The owner and creator of Jazmin Saraï\, a perfume brand exploring scent\, sound & culture\, Dana is also an interdisciplinary artist with experience in several cross-modal practices and private label collaborations. She has worked with fellow perfumers\, musicians\, lifestyle brands\, hotels\, art spaces and more. \nDana has been an Art & Olfaction Awards judge for several years and is a published fragrance writer\, winner of a Jasmine Literary Award (UK) and a Perfumed Plume Award (US). Her most recent interdisciplinary work has revolved around multi-sensory movement and synesthetic practice in a piece called Σmotion. \nHer primary focus is on the importance of scent in social interaction\, multicultural representation in perfumery\, and public education on the world of scent. \n\n\nIMPORTANT INFORMATION \nLocation: The IAO is wheelchair accessible.

SUMMARY:Honey: Perfume Accords (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/honey-perfume-accords-online-tickets-1990602234870\n\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. \nIn the latest of her accords classes\, Ashley leads an investigation into a complex honey 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. \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 between $120\, 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. By 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\nABOUT ASHLEY EDEN KESSLER \nA Los Angeles native\, Ashley came to perfumery after forays into other creative disciplines. Sculpture\, Architecture\, Theater\, Film and Design were the initial steps on her search for a mode of expression that would support both a dreamer and a pragmatist\, a creative mind fascinated equally by science and by art. Perfumery\, the science of the ineffable\, is where the road finally took her. \nHer first introduction to scent was by way of a gift on her 16th birthday: a bespoke fragrance formulated by renowned perfumer Sarah Horowitz. The study of architecture and design led to travel and work in film art departments\, but ultimately it was to Sarah Horowitz Parfums she returned. From apprentice to Junior Perfumer at SHP\, she was smitten with the field. Dropping everything else\, she immersed herself in study and practice. \nHer education in niche perfumery continued at LA’s Lucky Scent\, and seeking a more formal education in the field\, she moved to France to study at the prestigious Grasse Institute of Perfumery. There\, she distinguished herself with her final brief- winning one of GIP’s coveted awards. After her studies\, she returned to the U.S.\, having accepted a position as a Perfumer’s Assistant at Drom Fragrances International\, one of the world’s top fine fragrance studios. After two years in that position\, she was offered the chance to move back to Los Angeles as consultant for Sarah Horowitz’ new business initiative\, Original Scent. In 2013\, Ashley joined the Institute for Art and Olfaction as an instructor\, and in 2015 she founded her perfume company\, Sentir Studio. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Advanced Perfume Seminar: Pyrazines and Furanones (in person | online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/advanced-perfume-seminar-pyrazines-in-person-tickets-2002991102306?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nPyrazines are crucial in many perfume notes\, mostly in gourmand scents. They can be used to enhance bready\, nutty\, and roasted effects\, and adding notes of coffee\, popcorn\, butter\, rice\, and matcha\, among others. Furanones\, for their part\, can add a caramelly\, malted\, fruited and even savory effects. As useful as they are\, these materials are potent\, and can be hard to work with. \nIn this class\, Spyros Drosopoulos leads an exploration of these difficult materials in a theory-oriented class. We will start the session by smelling a selection of pyrazines and furanones\, learning how they can be deployed in perfumery to create important effects and impressions. We will also examine and explain several formulas that make use of these materials\, demonstrating through practical knowledge how to cleverly use these notes in fine fragrance. \nThree hours\, in person\, with online viewing option. Must have previous experience blending. \nIn person cost: $215.00 | Online cost: $150.00 \nTake-aways: \n\nA better understanding of how to work with pyrazine and furanone materials to create perfume notes and effects\nAn overview of perfume materials in the pyrazine category\nSeveral formulas to work from\n\n  \nPhoto credit \nBread: Photo by Vicky Ng on Unsplash

SUMMARY:Advanced Perfume Seminar: Sulfur and thiazoles (in person | online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/advanced-perfume-seminar-sulfurous-notes-in-person-tickets-2002991428281?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true \n– \nSulfur and thiazole notes are crucial in certain fruity accords\, but can also be used to add industrial effects and smoky notes—and can enhance the contrast between other olfactory notes. Deployed incorrectly\, however\, some of these notes can lend a urinous\, kitty litter effect. \nSpyros Drosopoulos leads an exploration of difficult materials in a theory-oriented class about sulfurous notes and thiazoles. In this seminar\, students will smell materials—including but not limited to several mercaptans— learning how they can be deployed in perfumery to create important effects and impressions.

SUMMARY:Tea and Olfaction: Deconstructing Taiwanese Oolong  (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tea-and-olfaction-deconstructing-taiwanese-oolong-in-person-tickets-1999728302183\n\n–\n\n\nTea specialist Anna Mariani will lead this workshop with a side-by-side analysis of two contrasting Taiwanese oolong teas. Through specific exercises designed to reveal nuanced aroma notes\, we will explore the connection between how we smell and how we taste. Because our sense of smell accounts for up to 80–90% of what we experience as flavor\, the complex profile of tea serves as an ideal blueprint for building a perfume accord. \nBy translating our notes into a perfumer’s vocabulary\, we will deconstruct the olfactory architecture of each infusion—from the dry leaf to the aroma lingering in the empty cup. In the second half of the class\, drawing on these insights and under the guidance of IAO instructor Julianne Lee \, we will work with a baseline tea accord to learn the structural foundations of tea in fragrance. We will then explore together how to strategically augment and modify this baseline formula using specific aromamolecules to match the distinct profiles of the two teas we evaluated. \nThe specialty oolongs featured in this class are generously provided by Tap Twice Tea (https://taptwicetea.com/ ) \n\n\n\nTOPICS COVERED \n\nGuided side-by-side tasting and sensory analysis of two distinct Taiwanese oolongs.\n\n\nPractical techniques to engage both nose and palate during a tea tasting.\n\n\nThe essential building blocks and structure of a baseline tea accord in perfumery.\n\n\nFormulation strategies to adapt a standard tea accord to reflect specific aromatic tea profiles.\n\n  \nKEY TAKEAWAYS \n\nHands-on tools to identify and describe subtle aroma notes in specialty tea.\n\n\nA clear understanding of how our sense of smell directly shapes the experience of taste and flavor.\n\n\nThe foundational skills to adapt a preexisting perfume accord formula to mimic specific\, real-world tea aromatic profiles.\n\n\n\n\nABOUT ANNA MARIANI  \nAnna Mariani is a tea specialist\, published writer\, and photographer with over a decade of experience. Through her curated platform\, The Tea Squirrel (https://teasquirrel.com/ )\, she explores the intersection of specialty tea\, culture\, and a sensorial lifestyle. Committed to making high-quality tea accessible\, Anna has immersed herself in the tea cultures of Japan\, South Korea\, and Taiwan\, using tea as a compass for her travels. Alongside her passion for tea\, a lifelong fascination with scent led her to study perfumery at the IAO\, driving her focus on the sensory overlap between tea and experimental fragrance. \nBringing a tea sommelier’s nose and palate and a photographer’s eye to her practice\, Anna celebrates authenticity\, craftsmanship\, and visual storytelling. Her Curated Routes series maps out itineraries that weave exceptional tea rituals with art\, architecture\, and design. By creating elevated sensory experiences\, Anna invites her students to slow down\, practice undivided attention\, and discover how a beautifully crafted cup of tea serves not only as an uplifting ritual for contemplation and meaningful connection\, but also as a powerful practice in olfactory refinement.

SUMMARY:Unconventional Perfume Blending: Old Books Accord (in person)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/unconventional-perfume-blending-old-books-accord-in-person-tickets-2004046551182?keep_tld=true \n– \n\n\nGather\, ye bibliophiles! Who hasn’t walked into a library with vaulted ceilings and inhaled the cozy\, somewhat musty smell of old books? The nostalgia\, the sweetness\, the mysteries promised by the faded words on yellowed pages… \n\n\n\n\nIn “Unconventional Perfume Blending: Old Books\,” led by instructor Julianne Lee\, we’ll start by enjoying some perfumes from the IAO Collections that feature the note of old books. Next\, we’ll smell a bevy of molecules and natural materials that evoke old books in their many forms: dusty\, sweet\, warm\, woody\, leathery\, inky. We’ll play with those materials and practice balancing a formula. Is your old book a pristine first-edition preserved in a collector’s sleeve\, or a tome unearthed from an elven dwelling? \nWe recommend having at least one IAO class under your belt\, but beginners are completely welcome.
