Perfumer Dana El Masri teaches the genealogy of scent, covering the green woods category (cypress, pine, and more).
About this event
Over the course of 2022, we will be exploring fragrance categories through specific classes designed to help new perfumers gain cultural understanding and technical perfumery skills. Perfumer Dana El Masri leads a series of classes that explore the genealogy of classic perfume categories. We continue the series with an exploration of green woods, including cypress, pine, and more.
Independent perfumer Dana El Masri explores this topic with a perfume genealogy class covering material history, cultural contexts, and important perfumes from the 20th and 21st century highlighting these green woods.
If you miss a class, do not fear: we will make recordings of the class available for 14 days after it takes place.
Starting the session with an overview of each material, Dana shares a brief history and cultural impact of each material, and technical information such as extraction methods and countries of origin.
The class then cover the classic, contemporary, mass market and niche applications of these florals by looking at important perfumes.
There are no materials required for this class.
