“What’s That Smell?" An Olfactory Game of Nose Training (in person)

“What’s that Smell?” is a game night that puts your nose to the test. Participants are presented with 10 aromatic materials, all anonymous, to sniff, reflect, and possibly identify. After recording impressions and best guesses, the group will collectively share olfactory impressions, after which we will unveil the aromatic materials’ identities and characters.
Join us for this engaging and educational encounter: Meet new, strange (to you!) molecules with fellow smell-hounds, while you develop your skills of olfactory recall.

Topics covered:
+ An introduction to nose training for scent enthusiasts and budding perfumers
+ Encounter unknown aromatic materials in a fun communal setting
+ Add to your olfactory recall and knowledge

Take-Aways:
+ Foundational education in olfactory recall and material evaluation
+ A new enthusiasm for the building blocks of perfumery
+ One of the most fun experiences of your life
