About the Topic

From Recognizing Scents to Creating Them, 2.0

A perfume is more than a pleasant smell. A small bottle opens onto a wider world of scent.

Last time, we used four scents for a brief introduction to perfumery.

This time, the full blending bench is open.

Each participant will receive an individual perfume-making kit.

It contains twelve perfumery notes, 5 ml each; three 3 ml spray bottles; one hundred scent strips; instructions; and four reference formulas to help beginners start.

The twelve notes range from bergamot, green leaf, and peach to rose, jasmine, lily of the valley, gardenia, violet, white musk, sandalwood, amber, and vanilla bean. They include natural materials and prepared accords, each combining professional perfumery ingredients. Smell, select, combine, and adjust them to build a scent gradually.

This is a two-hour hands-on blending session.

This time, you make the perfume.

The complete kit is yours to take home afterward.

You can continue experimenting at home, or blend scents with family and friends.

The movement from recognizing scent to creating it need not end after two hours.
