This sounds wonderful. I wish there was something like this where I live! I still have difficulty identifying individual notes, mostly because I have a relatively limited scent vocabulary. Do you have any advice for someone (who doesn't have access to wonderful teaching sessions like this one) to expand their scent vocabulary?

Anonymous, I recently had an experience that -- although not an official class -- was incredibly educational and really helped train my "nose." ...and it was at the Bond No. 9 counter at Saks!!! I devoted a good hour and a half there - and the Bond counter "perfumista" took me through all of their scents, taking the time to point out the different notes. It's really added to my enjoyment of perfume!! and I believe Bond is at all Saks, no?
ReplyDeleteThanks for this post! I will keep it in mind if I'm ever in New York. I too wish that we had a similar offering here in Adelaide.
ReplyDeleteThank you all and I am sure this spot is watched and perhaps something does crop up in your neck of woods soon!!
