What you will do
This workshop focuses on introductory to smell. You will learn about the history of perfume, methods of extraction, and the future of synthetic fragrances. Step by step, this workshop covers information on raw materials, molecules, dilutions, use of a scale, and altogether covers the basic strategies for perfume blending. After three hours, you leave with a bottle of your own made scent, while at the same time having gained knowledge about natural and synthetic smells, aromatic molecules, and many more! You'll go home with a 10ml bottle of your own signature perfume.
