Dana 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.
In the white petals class, Dana covers perfumes highlighting jasmine, orange blossom, and neroli. She will explore the material provenance, aromatic aspects, and notable perfumes that make use of these white blossoms in various ways. Then, as a group, the class will smell and discuss a series of notes and perfumes that elucidate the category.
