Fragrant and Radiant Symphony: A Multisensory Perfume Immersion (in person)

In 1937, Roland Hunt mapped a visionary practice with seven rays of healing vibration, each one a convergence of perfume, color, and musical note…..green resonates with F and orange blossoms.

Using scents from the Institute for Art and Olfaction's perfume organ in combination with colored lenses and musical tones generated by your smartphone, Dr. Dotson explores and reimagines The Cosmic Colour Fellowship of 1960's Hollywood.

Join us at the Institute for Art and Olfaction for an immersive multisensory talk, where scent meets color meets sound.
