Scents is totally booked, but we have tons more classes!

No one at our end of the animal kingdom really gives smell much credibility, but let's have a class about it anyway. Main focus point: perfumery.

Perfume! We've all been in elevators with people wearing too much of it, so now it's time to learn a bit more about it. We can cover the history of scent as a personal accessory, why we use it and what it might do for us (wink nudge), and then kick in some science and work on extracting scents to make our own via enfleurage, steam distillation, and whatever else we can figure out.

Things related to this class are The Secret of Scent, Perfume, CB I Hate Perfume in Williamsburg, FoodPairing.be, Scent Laboratory, this blog i just came across and a million things you can look up on Wikipedia.

This class, like all the rest, meets at Gowanus Studio Space, 166 7th St, Brooklyn

About us

Brooklyn Brainery hosts cheap collaborative classes on anything and everything.  Think book clubs on steroids.

Brainery classes don't have real teachers! Class leaders guide the learning process - you could say they know where you're heading (West!), but not that you need to take I-80 for a few thousand miles to get to Sutter's Mill.

That's where you come in! By sharing what you already know or what you've learned from the week's homework, class becomes way more interesting and way more collaborative. 

learn more!
