Event Details
Blending aromatic molecules together into a composed perfume is not only fun, but creative, challenging and - sometimes - kinda relaxing. We can't promise you that you'll make the next Chanel No. 5, but we can guarantee that you'll come away with a healthy respect for the art, science and skill it takes to make a good perfume. Come find out for yourself!
Open Sessions are the IAO’s longest running program, and are designed precisely for beginners who learn best by diving in, intermediate perfumers who want to explore new materials, or advanced perfumers who want to be part of a diverse and creative community!
Relaxed and self-directed (don’t worry, we’re here to help), these informal sessions are a great chance to get your first experiences, or refine your blending techniques, using the IAO’s abundant organ.
After getting a one-hour introduction to the evening's curated materials, you will be able to independently tinker with five materials of your choice in a casual, social setting. We have everything you need: Aromatic materials (natural, synthetic, and some accords), perfumer’s alcohol, beakers and droppers, scent strips and bottles… All you need to do is come with a notebook, and a curious mind.

Our open sessions are fulfilling the IAO’s core mission to create public access to materials and learning around perfumery. In open sessions, we invite the public to experiment with scent in an unguided way, in our functional perfumery laboratory.
