"It will measure your olfactory abilities, develop your sense of smell and introduce you to methods for memorising fragrances," says Rajiv Seth, CEO and creative director of All Good Scents, who will conduct the workshop.
Participants can learn how to define odours and even get introduced to the vocabulary employed in perfumery.
Seth will discuss various aspects of dealing with perfumes in the workshop, including wearing a fragrance. "Perfumes tend to react with fluctuating body temperature throughout the day and emit scent accordingly.
To maximise the aroma of your perfume, apply it only in the pulse points. A light mist of fragrance through the hair can also be applied for a long lasting effect," he says.
