About this Event
Perfumer Julianne Lee leads a four week session exploring important woody and citrus materials in the perfumers' organ. An indispensable first step in practicing perfumery and an opportunity to grow a technical familiarity with the materials, this four session course will enhance your olfactory fluency.
ABOUT THIS FOUR WEEK SESSION
In each 2 hour in-person session, Julianne leads the class in smelling and discussing five crucial perfume materials.
Over 4 Tuesday sessions, we will systematically go through the materials organ category by category, going into the function, aesthetics and technicalities of each material and its fragrance family.
In this course, we will cover woody and citrus materials, both naturals and synthetics, with students taking home small vials of the materials for future research and olfactory training.
Participants will leave with a fluency in the most important molecules of modern perfumery.
For beginners, this class presents an indispensable first step in practicing perfumery and growing your familiarity with the materials. For more experienced perfumers, the class presents an opportunity to enrich your process and technical abilities.

Attendance and Cancellation Policy: Please note that you must reserve your space in advance. If you just show up without reserving a spot, there is no guarantee we will be able to accommodate you.
When we host a class or workshop, we often order the materials to be used in the class well in advance, based on how many people have signed up (and padding a bit for safety). We also use class proceeds to pay our teachers. Although we realize that life has a funny way of getting in the way of the best laid plans, as a small non-profit we cannot afford to carry the burden of lost proceeds and materials.
- Cancellation with refund or credit requests made 2 weeks or more (14 days) before the scheduled session will be honored with gusto! We’ll miss you, but will 100% refund your spot, or give you credit for another class.
– Refunds or class credits requested less than 14 days before the scheduled sessipn: We will refund you 50% of your class fee. Why? Because we’ve already ordered the materials. Refunds or class credits requested less than 48 hours before the class, on the day of the class or after the class has happened will not be granted. The exception to this, of course, is if you have been exposed to Covid-19, or are feeling symptoms yourself.
- Cancellations or refund requests must be made by email or via the Eventbrite 'request refund' option.
Note also that event tickets are non-transferable. Thank you for understanding!
