In this advanced class students will gain a deeper understanding of formulation, perfume structure and building chords as well as practical things like getting to know your oils better and proper care of the materials. The original kit of 45 or so oils will be added to with some rare and precious materials such as hay absolute, benzoin, magnolia flower, aglaia, buddahwood and yuzu. A more in depth look at formulation and the concepts of locking and burying, originated and conceived by Mandy Aftel, will be explored and there will be specific assignments to deepen your understanding of blending and perfume creation, as well as sharpen your sense of smell.
