Join us for a hands- and noses-on session where you’ll learn about and play with aromatic materials used to create a blend of 
cologne
. During class, you’ll be introduced to a historical perfume formula as you smell through the individual materials and final blended recreation of a 
historic cologne formula
.
Next, you’ll experiment with blending exercises using a selection of aromatic materials to recreate these formulas or accords, learning how each material contributes to the overall olfactory portrait you create. As part of your learning process, you’ll make a few experimental blends to share with the class and take home for learning.
The experimental nature of these classes gives students a greater understanding of how individual materials perform and can be used in accords, formulas, and olfactory art. Beginners are welcome, but this class is more appropriate for those who have some previous blending experience at the Institute for Art and Olfaction.
Topics covered:
+ Reading accord formulas
+ Smelling aromatic materials and blended accords
+ Lab time dedicated to working with and learning about the accord’s palette
+ Discussion of substitutions in formulas due to new materials or new regulations
Take-Aways:
+ Technical knowledge about the aromatic materials constructing a given accord and formula
+ Greater familiarity with aromatic materials and combinations
+ Take-home experimental vials of reference accord(s) and individual blends made during class

We arrive around 12:00noon so the main parking area is already full. They told us to park in the science center building which you need to walk around 5-10mins which is not a problem for us. Its a 3 floor building and we really enjoyed checking each artifacts.

Sunset Boulevard is one one the most iconic things about LA but, it is ultimately just a road. There is no doubt that it covers a few highlights e.g. Playboy Mansion, the Oppenheim Group and leads straight to Hollywood but it&#39;s something you end up passing through rather than venturing to.
