This open session is for returning students only.
Open Sessions for Returning Students Only offers lab time for beginners who have attended an Open Session before, as well as intermediate or experienced perfumers. Aromatic materials are not included. Bring your own materials or use ours, and blend with new friends.
Our open sessions for returning students only are designed as an informal, convivial space in which to co-work with other perfumers. Relaxed and self-directed (don’t worry, we’re here to help), these informal sessions are a great chance to refine a formula, work out an idea or just hang out with like-minded colleagues. Let’s learn from each other, and make new friends.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Blending aromatic molecules together into a composed perfume is not only fun, but creative, challenging and – sometimes – kinda relaxing. We can’t promise you that you’ll make the next Chanel No. 5, 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.
Relaxed and self-directed, these informal sessions are a great chance to refine your blending techniques in the presence of other scent enthusiasts and #friendswithpipettes. Open Sessions are the IAO’s longest running program. These Open Sessions for Returning Students Only are designed precisely for newcomers who have already attended one Open Session for First Timers, intermediate perfumers who want to explore new materials, or advanced perfumers who want to co-work with a diverse and creative community.
As a returning student, you will be able to independently tinker with materials of your choice in a casual, social setting.
We have everything you need: Aromatic materials (natural, synthetic, and some accords), perfumer’s alcohol, beakers and droppers, scent strips and bottles… All you need to bring is a notebook, and and open mind. Down the rabbit hole you go!
