Just yesterday we received our first lecture and workshop as FCP students from a guest lecturer, Karen Gilbert, an expert in the art of perfumery.
The hour lecture was jam packed with insightful and useful content about fragrance itself and the industry, which will be crucial, during the process of creating our own fragrance for this summative task.
The workshop followed immediately after.
During the first half an hour we were introduced to creating our own fragrance. We learnt about the different layers to fragrances (the heart notes, the accessory, the fixative and the harmoniser) and how to combine these layers in order to make a pleasant smelling fragrance.
We then began creating!
After experimenting several times, we formed our final fragrance.
The key ingredients included:
1. Natural Homme
2. Muguet
3. Narcotic
As we are still deciding upon our final idea within my group, we decided to experiment with this final fragrance, rather than create a perfume fitting with just one of our three ideas.
Overall I found the day fun and enjoyable, whilst being informative and extremely helpful with the rest of our brief over the next few months.
Hope you have enjoyed reading this post.
