NEXT MEETING – May 19, 2025
Program: PERFUME: The Story of Rose and Other Fragrances with Master Rosarian, Mike Becker.
Come explore the fragrances and perfumes of time. Learn about the perfumes, including the rose, that were the most popular since ancient times through today. In addition to learning what the most intriguing perfumes were in the ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman worlds, you’ll get to smell some recreated samples of a few of those. You’ll also get to learn about and smell the more recent medieval and renaissance perfumes popularized by Queen Elizabeth of Hungary and Queen Elizabeth I of England. Those perfumes lead to the popular perfumes in use during the modern era we have now. The program will also include many modern perfumes currently in use today.
You’ll also get to see and smell many of the essential oils and raw materials used in many the perfumes of time. Many of these ingredients are used by perfumists around the world today. Enjoy a fun-filled evening and indulge in the fragrances of time.
