Scent101

Connect with your team and explore the world of scent in a relaxed, comfortable and fun process. Participants will learn about the art of olfaction and the basics of designing a perfume, while also taking a break from thinking by diving into their sensory experience.

What it looks like

This workshop is an engaging, educational, but also touching experience, since smell often revives past memories, evokes emotions, and brings out stories participants connect on. We will learn more about how perfumes are designed, what top, heart and bottom notes are, how their molecules change the way we experience fragrances over time, as well as how the nose and brain communicate. Participants will explore the main scent categories and get to know what they personally resonate the most with, while also discovering how the perfume industry has shaped how we interpret what we smell.

Interested as individual?

I offer Scent101 workshops throughout Germany, open to the public to purchase a ticket. You don’t require any previous knowledge. That’s the beauty of smell.
