Sensual Scents and Aromas
Take some time to fine-tune your senses at an interactive lecture with a romantic theme!
In this multi-sensory class, we'll experience six fragrance notes that have long associations with love and sensuality, hear their histories, and find out how artists and writers have paid tribute to them.
Afterwards, we'll sip flavored (non-alcoholic) beverage pairings during Q&A.
