Expo workshop:
The Smell of Winter
Exploring winter through scent
This workshop invites people to explore winter through scent. Not the literal version. The internal one. The memories, textures, and moods that surface when you stop thinking and start sensing.
Participants move through a quiet, guided experience.
They select objects, receive a custom palette of materials, and create a perfume based on their own associations.
By the end, each person walks away with a scent they built from the ground up. Something they didn’t know they were carrying until they smelled it.
