Springtime Smells: Perfume-Making Workshop (in person)
–
Join Minetta Rogers for a guided blending session celebrating the season’s change — and, of course, perfume-making! For beginners, but all levels are welcome.
For the first portion of this smelling and blending session, we will learn about some smells of spring. Scent strips will be handed out by your friendly Institute for Art and Olfaction team, and we will spend time smelling and discussing our impressions of aromatic materials associated with the season.
We will start the second portion of the session by briefly discussing and practicing blending scent. Each student will have the opportunity to blend with aromatic materials from the session’s selected palette. We will spend the rest of the session experimenting with our own short formulas.
Each attendee goes home with a small trial of their aromatic blend.
Topics covered:
+ introduction to aromatic materials and scent evaluation
+ introduction to blending and composing scent
+ introduction to expanding formulas
Take-Aways:
+ spray vial of chosen scent blend
