Redolence (Online Masterclass + Discovery Set)

Experience Lore Perfumery’s Redolence Online Masterclass + Discovery Set in the comfort of your own home, whenever you choose! This online masterclass is a unique sensorial experience perfect for the perfume lovers and fragrance enthusiasts – basically anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the more conceptual side of niche fragrance.

What is Redolence?
Redolence refers to the ability of scent to evoke memories, experiences and emotions. At Lore Perfumery, we aim to engage with fragrance in a multi-dimensional way and love to explore the storytelling ability of perfume (hence our name!). Perfumery, being a pretty abstract art form, prompts us to tap into all of our senses or memories of our sensations in the process of experiencing it. So we wanted to talk about the way smell interacts with all of our senses, not just our olfactives – and trust us, it actually does!

The Redolence Online Masterclass + Discovery Set
With the idea of Redolence in mind, our fragrance experts at Lore have crafted this informative online event where we explore each of the five senses (plus a witchy sixth one) via fragrance. In the masterclass, we engage in informative discussions about each of our senses and how they connect to our sense of smell and therefore, fragrance.
Then, the fun really begins – to accompany each of the senses we explore, we have chosen a fragrance that we feel embodies them perfectly. And, with your discovery set, you’ll get to smell along with the masterclass at home. For those who prefer to read and smell rather than watch/listen and smell, we have created a private webpage with all the information for you to refer to as you explore each of the fragrances.
The Redolence Online Masterclass + Discovery Set is a new and exciting way to interact with scent – it’s more than just fragrance, it’s an experience!

A sneak peak of the fragrances
•    The musky molecular fragrance by The Raconteur, Namedrops, to represent the olfactive sense. This sense has a particularly direct pathway to the limbic system, the part of the brain responsible for learning, memory and emotion.
•    The delicious and addictive Dolce Treviso by Acca Kappa to represent our sense of taste. This is the sense most closely linked to our sense of smell – so much so that what we smell is mostly responsible for what we taste!
•    The powdery, velvety Putain des Palaces by Etat Libre d’Orange for touch. This sense interacts with olfaction as they are both processed through the thalamus, and together help us to piece together our surroundings.
•    The vivid contrasts of Map of the Heart’s v.7, the White Heart of Love to represent our sense of vision. People with synesthesia actually have colours or shapes that appear to them when they smell something!
•    The rock ‘n’ roll fragrance Sonic Flower for our sense of hearing. Music, like smell, has a profound effect on our limbic system, and therefore our emotions and memories.
•    The infamously spooky Poltergeist by Heretic Parfum for our witchy sixth sense. A lot of people who have had supernatural or spiritual experiences describe them being accompanied by a smell.
