The Art & Craft of Perfumery 15.06.25-21.06.25 (7 days)

Perfumery is a complex practice. For this reason, it is often presented and taught in the context of oppositions: natural versus synthetic, historic versus contemporary. These dualities present a divisive approach to perfumery, which serves only to fracture and limit the potential of the practice.

Mas Flaquer is a regenerative farm outside Barcelona which serves as the headquarters for Spanish perfume brand Bravanariz, It is here that Ernesto Collado, Spyros Drosopoulos and Saskia Wilson-Brown combine their areas of expertise to present a six day perfume intensive that approaches the practice with a holistic and inclusive lens.

Through a combination of field work, hands-on blending time, and lectures, this intensive will highlight the connections between diverse ways of working: It will focus on how to interrelate natural sourcing and extraction strategies, modern chemistry, technical perfumery, and experimentation. In this way, this intensive will provide participants with an expansive understanding of all the possibilities for their craft, and a fuller appreciation of what is possible with scent.
