FUNDAMENTAL BLENDING: HOLIDAY EDITION
Join us for a hands-on exploration of blending, where we’ll look at how texture, balance, and contrast shape a fragrance. Students will take home samples of their formulas.
In this workshop, you’ll:
-
Experiment with complementary and contrasting accords and materials, from icy irises and creamy musks to festive florals, wintery woods, spices, ambers, and more!
-
Learn how to adjust a blend’s weight, sillage, and character through texture (such as, sheer vs. dense, projective vs. intimate, smooth vs. pointy).
• Explore seasonal sensory cues in fragrance
-
Explore transitions between notes and how a fragrance evolves from opening to drydown.
-
Create your own custom blend, focusing on cohesion, movement, and contrast.
We’ll also discuss how perfumers use texture, balance, and tension to create mood, atmosphere, and narrative in fragrance.
Whether you’re new to blending or looking to refine your approach, this workshop is an opportunity to experiment, build your olfactive vocabulary, and develop your own sense of balance.
