What you will do?
This workshop is an introduction 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 will have gained knowledge about natural and synthetic smells, aromatic molecules! You'll also go home with a 10ml bottle of your own signature perfume.
