INTRO TO ACCORD MAKING: THE PERFUMERS' SECRET WEAPON - JUNE

Accords can create illusions, add realism, and soften the rough edges of naturals - a perfumers secret weapon.

This hands-on introduction teaches you how to build your understanding of what accords are, how to construct accords and apply time-tested methods for success. 

We will learn:

• The Jean Carles Method - how to blend raw materials in varying ratios to learn their interactions and train your nose to recognize balance, contrast, and structure. 
• Analyze GC–MS data to understand the chemical structure of naturals and fragrance oils.
• Construct accords - a balance of intuition, personal taste and methodical approach. Refine your intuition and artistic direction through guided exercises.

By the end, you’ll walk away with a confidence in your own intuition, a systematic approach using the Jean Carles Method and tools of success to have your unique compositions shine.
