Smelling Around the Odor Wheel (In Person)

Train your nose by smelling important aromatic materials of the scent families in this in-person introduction to perfume materials.

Join us for a guided smelling session that introduces different important materials from around the fragrance wheel.

Scent strips will be handed out by your friendly Institute for Art and Olfaction team, and we will spend time smelling and discussing our impressions of these materials.

This class is an introduction to the materials you may encounter in your favorite perfumes, or that you may use as a perfumer or olfactory artist. The session will assist you in your familiarity with fragrance materials as you enter your journey into the world of scent.

Take-Aways: Participants will leave with a sense of the basics of aromatic materials and their categories, as well as an informational odor wheel (included in the cost of registration).

Small vials of aromatic materials from the session or our public organ may be purchased a la carte after class.
