At Alchemies of Scent’s second and third workshops, we are time-travelers moving back and forth from the ancient world of perfumery to today’s. You will learn the myths and stories of scents and substances of the Ancient Mediterranean by plunging into one of the first cross-cultural perfumes of the Greco-Egyptian world: the Metopion. You will smell, touch and taste the difference between the raw ingredients used in the past and the prepared ingredients of today: bitter almond, cardamom, galbanum, myrrh, calamus, and honey. You will develop skills of interpreting ancient recipes, and you will learn how to use ancient recipes to experiment with scents in ancient and modern ways.
