Description

This course will investigate the artistic language of olfactory exploration by creating fragrance from perfume oils and natural oils, as inspired by works of contemporary artists. We will explore the evocative nature of both art and perfume and, in so doing, see the power and allure of scent as an artistic medium. The connection between fragrance to contemporary art, and the influence of this relationship to art and culture will be addressed. Inspired by contemporary music, fine arts, performance and film works, students will be encouraged to express the works viewed via the medium of fragrance, through the formulation of scents. Additionally, each student will create a bottle design, packaging, advertising copy and social media forum for his or her final project, and will present a finished fragrance.
