Anastasia and Selby Gardens staff will reveal more about how valuable and fragile these treasures are and how important and urgent it has become to preserve their beautiful habitats.\nThroughout this interactive presentation, Anastasia will introduce you to the Sulékó Language of Scent wherein scents and emotions meet.

She fully immersed herself into this universe, learning about the history of perfume, and studying the great masterpieces of French Haute Parfumerie preserved by the Osmothèque Conservatory of Perfume. She deepened her knowledge of the art and science of perfume through high level trainings on scent ingredients and fragrance composition at ISIPCA (the French school of perfumers).\nIn 2013, she launched Sulékó, a Perfume House reuniting Perfume with French Artistic Craftsmanship. Her creations have been featured in Forbes, FT and Vogue. A member of the French Society of Perfumers, Anastasia also teaches the Sulékó language of scents through live and online classes. With Sulékó’s masterclasses and Scented Treks, she seeks to unlock the world of scents and let you explore.\n“The world of scents is fabulous and mysterious; it brought a lot of joy into my life; I now wish to share my knowledge and my passion with you and invite you to experience the joy of exploring the world around you with your sense of smell!”  —Anastasia Sokolow\n URL:https://selby.org/events/florida-vibrations-a-parfumeurs-journey-to-create-a-wild-florida-fragrance/ CATEGORIES:Adult Programs,Classes LOCATION:1534 Mound Street, Sarasota, FL 34236, USA ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://selby.org/wp-content/uploads/Florida-Vibrations.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
