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 this class, Dana covers perfumes highlighting the uncommon florals category (including osmanthus, narcissus, and hyacinth). She will explore the material provenance, aromatic aspects, and notable perfumes that make use of these uncommon florals notes in various ways. Then, as a group, the class will discuss a series of notes and perfumes that elucidate the category.

TOPICS COVERED

  • History and cultural impact of perfume materials
  • Technical information about perfume materials
  • Overview of these materials in classic, contemporary, mass market, and niche perfumes
