have you ever said, “I don’t really know anything about perfume…But I know what I like!” Do you ever feel overwhelmed at the perfume counter by the barrage of scents or sheer number of perfumes to choose from? just what is a fougere? is a note the same thing as an ingredient? Signature Scent is the workshop that gives voice to our unspoken passions for fragrance.

In person only: 3 hours

group size: 4 - 12 participants

no prerequisites (beginners welcome)

In this discussion-oriented workshop we will smell the very best contemporary perfume from around the world together. From haute couture houses to the hottest niche lines, we will acquaint ourselves with the fragrances and the language of contemporary perfume. Over three odoriferous hours We will compare and contrast perfumes to introduce styles, types, houses, designers, concentrations and notes.

This is not a formulating workshop, but rather a knowledge and language-building discussion: a refinement of the nose. This sniffing extravaganza will be accompanied by aromatic tea, wine or cocktail of participants choice. No prior perfume knowledge is required.

safety note: We will be sniffing many world-renowned perfumes, most of which are vetted in production for known allergens, however, be advised that sensitivities to fragrant products can still occur. If you have allergies or sensitivities this may not be the workshop for you. if you still want to participate and know precisely what makes you react, please let me know ahead of time and i will try my best to accommodate with alternative perfumes where possible.

workshop fee (includes materials and refreshment): $175.00/person
