Mysterious ingredients, luxury brands, and secret recipes. But in this workshop, we’ll show you how to hack the world of perfume using simple tools, shared knowledge, and a bit of help from AI.\r\n\r\nSmell is one of our most powerful senses. It helps us recognize danger, feel comfort, remember people, and imagine new experiences. In this session, we’ll each create a custom perfume that reflects our personal idea of a better future—whether that’s calm, community, wild nature, or something totally unique.\r\n\r\nHere’s what we’ll do:\r\n- Smell and get to know a range of ingredients we provide.\r\n- Use tools like online databases, example recipes and AI we will match ideas and feelings to real scents.\r\n- Mix and test small amounts to build your own perfume.\r\n- Share your scent and the story behind it.\r\n\r\nNo experience needed. We’ll guide you through the process step by step. You’ll leave with your own small perfume and maybe some new ideas about how smell connects to how we see the world.","duration":90,"slot_count":1,"content_locale":"en","do_not_record":false,"image":"http://program.why2025.org/media/why2025/submissions/VYTNWT/Perfume_Bottle_Design_May_10_2025_nyaeYE4.png","resources":[34,35,36,37,38,45],"slots":[13178],"answers":[]}
