Open Aroma Lab
During restricted corona times in Open Aroma Lab, there are 2 people at one time.
For this you have to prepare:
- 2 printed sheets of blending paper
- 5 Glass or metal beaker per person
- Pen
- Some water for the room
If you want to, at some point, you can host the Open Aroma Lab after an introduction from Frank on what to say. But Frank or Niklaus are usually taking care of the people during the workshop.
