18th-Century Scent Making Workshop
Founder and Executive Director Saskia Wilson-Brown of the Institute for Art and Olfaction offers a history of 18th-century scent. Saskia will lead a smelling session that expands upon the museum’s Le Petit Salon exhibition by providing an embodied experience of the era’s scentscape. We will examine historic perfume formulas, and smell popular aromatic materials in 17th- and 18th-century France. The session will end with a hands-on exercise, where students can make a short formula inspired by the times. For Middlebury students only.
