Signatures + Styles: Animalic/Musk Material Spotlight (Online)

Dana El Masri explores the aromatics that defined the classic and modern perfume industry in a continuation of her Signatures and Styles series. An excellent way to get to know your perfume history, and understand the trajectory of a perfume material in fine fragrance, Signatures and Styles explores important perfumers, and - occasionally - important aromatic genres.

For this session, Dana covers the all important animalic materials, including musks. Over an hour, she will explain how these sometimes nuzzly, sometimes funky materials have been used in fragrance, important aromatics in the genre, and more. We will leave plenty of room for questions at the end of class.

This is an online class. The Zoom link will be sent by email 24 hours before the class. If you cannot attend live, we will share access to the recorded class for 3 days with everyone who has registered for the class.

There are no materials required for this class.
