The first part of yesterday’s program was to discover the animal scents.

We learned about their role in perfumery and what effect they have on people. Animalic scents give a tri-dimensional effect to perfumes by playing with human pheromones, according to Salaam.

In the afternoon we created a tincture with real muskrat glands and discovered the stupefying smell of the fresh tincture a few hours later.
