SCENT LAB with BRIAN GOELTZENLEUCHTER

  • San Diego Art Institute 1439 El Prado San Diego, CA, 92101 United States (map)

$65 per person

 

 

Join artist Brian Goeltzenleuchter and the San Diego Art Institute for a two hour experimental scent lab. Participants will have the opportunity to smell a range of molecules and engage in a small perfume blending exercise. Everyone will leave the session with an informed understanding of perfumery, and a small vial of their own scent formulation.

The session will start with a nose-training exercise, leading up to the basics of blending. Each participant will have a chance to make trial scents, discuss their formulations, and leave with a finished sample of their own creation.
