Sean Coughlin will deliver a public lecture to the Czech Association of Aromatherapists.

Abstract

At this workshop, we will talk about the myths and stories of scented materials in the Ancient Mediterranean by plunging into one of the first cross-cultural perfumes of the Greco-Egyptian world: the Metopion. We will smell, touch and taste the difference between the raw ingredients used in the past and the ingredients of perfumery today: bitter almond, cardamom, galbanum, myrrh, calamus and more.
