Perfume Education and Experimentation
This exhibition aims to showcase perfume formulas as cultural and aesthetic artifacts. Join us for an exhibition walk-through and talk led by co-curators Professor Urs Stäheli and IAO founder Saskia Wilson-Brown.
Learn the basics of perfumery, explore aromatic materials, and create your first short perfume formulas in a three-part seminar. (online)
IAO Board Member Rubia Chaudri and director Saskia Wilson-Brown recently visited Alexandria, Virginia, and went on a tour of a beautiful (and definitely haunted) historic apothecary. In this post, Saskia shares what they learned during their tour of the Stabler-Leadbeater Apothecary Museum.
Back in 2012, we recorded our very first video: a wide-eyed plea for help to launch the IAO. We recently found it in our old hard drives, and share it here, with you!
In June 2018, IAO founder Saskia Wilson-Brown gave a talk at the World Perfumery Congress about a new initiative exploring alternatives for current IP structures as they relate to historic and independent perfumery.
