How does a scent capture the essence of what it represents? In this course, students will explore the fascinating science behind the sense of smell and how it uniquely connects to our brain’s emotional and memory centers. Through hands-on workshops and creative projects, students will learn the art of crafting personalized scents that reflect their own identities and experiences in the forms of candle making and perfumery. We will explore the biology of the olfactory system, the role of scent in sensory environments, and the impact of individual differences in scent perception. Students will engage in personalized scent creation, discovering how to layer fragrances to evoke specific moods and memories. By the end of the course, students will develop their own signature scents, gaining a deeper understanding of how scent can be a powerful form of self-expression. Whether you’re interested in fragrance, creativity, or the science of the senses, this course invites you to explore what scent means to you and how it can shape the way you experience the world.
