About this Event
In collaboration with a local perfumer, participants will craft a custom fragrance using top, heart, and base notes while reflecting on the emotional and personal associations each scent carries. Drawing inspiration from the sensory landscape of Miami, participants will consider how scent can capture the feeling of a place.
After creating and naming their perfume, participants will write a poem inspired by their fragrance, reflecting on the meaning behind the notes they choose. A jasmine note, for example, may recall a family gathering or a feeling associated with life in Miami. In this way, fragrance becomes a kind of talisman — something worn not just for beauty, but as a sensory reminder of memory, culture, and personal story.
The workshop concludes with an optional sharing circle where participants spritz their fragrance and read their poems. The result is both tangible and ephemeral: a perfume participants can wear and a poem that captures the story behind it. By combining olfactory art and poetry, Scent Alchemy invites participants to experience language, memory, and identity through multiple senses.
