Perfume-making – without a doubt – is a creative practice. Yet, our understanding of creativity is often limited. We basically think about the outstanding achievements of a creative genius without exploring the practices and strategies that underlie their creative solutions.
This talk opens the blackbox of creativity: It will focus on empirical data from case study research in the niche perfume industry, and outline the aesthetic and sensual practices that enable creative solutions in perfume-making.
Join us at the Institute for Art and Olfaction for this illuminating look into the practices that allow the creation of the scents we love, presented by Swiss-based social scientist Dr. Nada Endrissat.
Space is highly limited: Please be sure to RSVP early.
