Open Sessions: Community reflects the IAO’s mission of making the aromatic arts accessible to all. This offering is designed to ensure that cost is not a barrier to participation, and to welcome those for whom our standard registration fees may not be feasible.
Blending aromatic molecules together into a composed perfume is not only fun, but creative, challenging and – sometimes – kinda relaxing. We can’t promise that you’ll make the next Santal 33, but we can guarantee that you’ll come away with a healthy respect for the art, science, materials, and skill it takes to make perfume.
Open Sessions are the IAO’s longest running program, and focus on hands-on experience for newcomers to the practice. In a casual, self-led setting, you’ll independently tinker with materials from the experimental organ, select five to work with, and get to making your first trials!
We have everything you need: Aromatic materials (natural, synthetic, and accords), 5/8 dram vials and pipettes, and scent strips. You go home with your formula, what’s left of your materials and — most importantly — a new awareness of what it takes to make a perfume. All you need to bring is an open mind, and down the rabbit hole you go!

When you sign up for a class or event at the IAO, you will receive an Eventbrite confirmation email which contains important information, such as materials lists or preparation instructions. Please be sure to scroll down in the email, so you see those instructions.
For online classes, you will receive the Zoom log-in information approximately 12 – 24 hours before each session begins. To avoid this going to spam, add hello@artandolfaction.com to your address book. Our online classes are recorded, and the video is available to registered attendees for 7 days after the class takes place. Because the class is recorded and can be viewed later, we do not provide refunds or transfers for online classes.
