Join your fellow perfumers and blend in community with plenty of aromatic materials to discover. Returning students only.
About this Event

Please note: This open session is for returning students only. Aromatic materials are not included. Bring your own materials or purchase small quantities from us.

Our open sessions for returning students only are designed as an informal, convivial space in which to co-work with other perfumers. Relaxed and self-directed (don’t worry, we’re here to help), these sessions are a great chance to refine a formula, work out an idea or just hang out with like-minded colleagues. Let's learn from each other, and make new friends.


WHAT TO EXPECT

Blending aromatic molecules together into a composed perfume is not only fun, but creative, challenging and - sometimes - kinda relaxing. We can't promise you that you'll make the next Chanel No. 5, but we can guarantee that you'll come away with a healthy respect for the art, science, materials, and skill it takes to make perfume.

Relaxed and self-directed, these informal sessions are a great chance to refine your blending techniques in the presence of other scent enthusiasts and #friendswithpipettes. Open Sessions are the IAO’s longest running program. These Open Sessions for Returning Students Only are designed precisely for newcomers who have already attended one Open Session for First Timers, intermediate perfumers who want to explore new materials, or advanced perfumers who want to co-work with a diverse and creative community.

As a returning student, you will be able to independently tinker with materials of your choice in a casual, social setting.We have everything you need: aromatic materials (natural, synthetic, and some accords), beakers and droppers, scent strips and bottles… All you need to bring is a notebook, and and open mind. Down the rabbit hole you go!


TAKE-AWAYS

+ Explore scents and perfume-making in a self-directed environment

+ Refine an existing formula or work on something new

+ Bring home a sample of your favorite trial in a small spray vial

+ Make new #friendswithpipettes


MATERIALS + COSTS

As a returning student, you are invited to bring your own materials. If you do not have materials, run out of something, or want to work with something new, you may purchase as many vials of our materials as you desire.

Materials Costs: $4.00 (5/8 dram vial), $6.00 (1 dram vial)

Lab fee: $35.00 (required)

This lab fee covers the reasonable use of IAO lab materials, including pipettes, scent stips, scales, spray vials, and our staff time. 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.

All attendees who have already attended one Open Session and familiarized themselves with our labspace are welcome, but these sessions are 18 and up (or 14+, with adult supervision).


LOCATION

The IAO is located in Los Angeles’ historic Chinatown neighborhood, on a pedestrian street that also hosts galleries, souvenir shops, production companies, design studios, two very cool parrots, and a cat named Kiki.

Street Address: 932 Chung King Road Los Angeles CA. 90012

To find us: Chung King Road is a pedestrian-only road that runs parallel to Hill Street, between Hill St and Yale St. See more information here: http://artandolfaction.com/visit

The IAO is wheelchair accessible. Note there is a small 1" lip at the threshold of the space.


CANCELLATION POLICY

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. With all that said, here’s our refund policy for in person classes!

– Cancellation with refund or credit requests made 1 week or more (7 days) before the scheduled session will be honored with gusto! We’ll miss you, but will 100% refund your spot.

– Refunds or class credits requested less than 7 days before the scheduled session: 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.

– Cancellations or refund requests must be made by email (hello@artandolfaction) or via the Eventbrite ‘request refund’ option.

Note also that event tickets are non-transferable.
