About this event

Sign up: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/perfume-101-perfumery-for-beginners-in-person-tickets-1998552131224?aff=oddtdtcreator&keep_tld=true – Perfume 101 serves as an orientation session for newcomers to the field, olfactive adventurers, curious minds, and budding scent enthusiasts who need a little boost. In this theory-focused introduction to perfumery, participants will learn about perfume basics such as fragrance families and classifications, get an introduction to perfume-making in a lab, and get an introduction to the different kinds of aromatic materials. As a group, the class will learn the difference between top, middle and bottom notes, what’s in a perfume lab, get a brief introduction to perfume math concepts, and more. We’ll smell and look at different aromatic materials, useful labware used in blending scents, and more! Participants will leave with the basic knowledge they need to start a journey down the rabbit hole of appreciating and even making scent. Please note: This is primarily a lecture-based class, with a smelling component. There is one group blend exercise and one individual blend exercise, with participants taking home a small spray vial of their individual scent blend and select reference materials. If you wish to take a class with a hands-on focus, please register for Introduction to Perfume Blending.
