THE CLASS MATERIAL In First Mondays in the Lab students will learn the fundamentals of perfumery, and become equipped with a basic understanding of standard perfume vocabulary and concepts. Through the lens of three of Le Labo’s signature fragrances, the workshops will cover how the inspiration for a fragrance is developed, how harmonious blends are made, and Le Labo’s approach to creating some of the most original and daring fragrances on the market. Throughout the course, natural and synthetic ingredients from the perfumers’ palate will be sampled, and their origins, properties, and uses will be discussed. Students will take home a 5 ml sample of a Le Labo fragrance presented in the class.
