SUMMARY:Olfactory Research Notes: Ancient Egyptian Perfume Cones\, with Dora Goldsmith (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/olfactory-research-notes-ancient-egyptian-perfume-cones-online-tickets-1983578903898?aff=oddtdtcreator \n– \n\n\nHave you ever wondered what those cones are that the ancient Egyptians are often shown wearing on their heads? There are a number of interesting theories surrounding perfume cones with regards to their materials and purpose. But which ones are academically accurate and which ones are just myths? In this upcoming class\, Egyptologist Dora Goldsmith will teach you everything to know about ancient Egyptian perfume cones\, including how to make them. \nThis presentation will be followed by a question and answer session with attendees. \n\n\n\n\nTakeaways and Learning Points: \n\n️Uses: The ancient Egyptians used perfume cones to honor special occasions with their scent\, such as banquets\, funerary rites\, and worshipping the gods\, but also during fishing and fowling\, receiving the gold of honor\, appearing in front of the tree goddess or playing senet.\nSymbolisms: An analysis of the scenes in which perfumes cones appear reveals their deep cultural symbolisms\, which ranges from communicating simple messages\, such that an event taking place is of great significance\, to complex ideas\, such as fighting the chaotic forces of evil through the powerful scents of ma’at.\nDating: Perfume cones can serve as effective dating tools\, as their form and embellishment are characteristic of specific dynasties. Dora will teach you how to date tomb and relief scenes containing perfume cones\, which is an impressive skill to have in classes\, during museum visits\, and on trips to Egypt.\n️Materials: Combining written sources and archaeological finds\, Dora will explain what we know about the raw materials and aromatic ingredients of perfume cones. She will also deconstruct some frequently cited myths\, e.g. that perfume cones were made out of fat.\nExperimental Archaeology: Dora will teach you how to replicate the enigmatic perfume cones. Experimental archaeology is especially important in the research of perfume cones\, as it clarifies a number of previously unanswered questions about their manufacture and purpose.

SUMMARY:Meet a Nose: Andrea Maack (online)
DESCRIPTION:Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/meet-a-nose-andrea-maack-online-tickets-1986038655080?aff=oddtdtcreator \n– \nEach edition of Meet a Nose takes the form of a one-hour discussion moderated by IAO founder Saskia Wilson-Brown\, in which extraordinary thinkers\, singular artists\, and distinctive perfumers from around the world share their unique perspectives on what it means to be a sensorial human in the world. \nAndrea Maack is an Icelandic visual artist\, who launched her first perfume as an art piece. “The idea of working with scent came about through a series of exhibitions I always envisioned only making one fragrance titled SMART (Smell Art)\, but after that show\, I was hooked on this process and started working on scented installations full time\,” she explains. \nSoon after that show\, in 2012\, Maack decided to develop a luxury fragrance brand—ANDREA MAACK. “The brand came about when I was invited to host the opening show of a design gallery in downtown Reykjavík and I decided to do an art installation in the form of a “Andrea Maack perfume shop”. \nFor Maack\, the link between visual art and perfumery is a palpable one. “I see scent as a linear thing — it travels along your skin and travels through the air\, which can be reminiscent of strokes traveling across a page.”
