The Institute For Art and Olfaction

This is the place to come play, explore, investigate with your sense of smell. Past workshops have included Sandalwood and Carrion: Smell and Perfumery in Ancient India by USC Professor of religion James McHugh, Dr. Avery Gilbert leads an interactive exploration of synaesthesia, Perfumer Brent Leonesio presents Top 10 aromachemicals. Whether you are a burgeoning perfumer, fragrance obsessed or just naturally curious, IAO will surely stimulate with new experiences. Open sessions to experiment in the «lab» on Thursday nights.
FYI: There’s no sign or arrow pointing to the IAO after you get off the elevator, so walk down the long hallway (on the right side of the elevators) to the end, turn left and it will be on your right.
