Lessons

Architecture

  1. Advanced Accord Architecture

    Design a perfume as a hierarchy of accords: load-bearing cores, bridges and modifiers, how each level is tested, and how architecture survives reformulation.

    50 min · Exercise: Map and stress-test an architecture

  2. Texture, Contrast and Diffusion as Design Variables

    Treat texture, contrast and diffusion as variables you can define, vary and test: how each is built, described reliably, and kept under control.

    50 min · Exercise: Three single-variable series

  3. Ingredient Interactions in Complex Mixtures

    Masking, suppression, synergy and blending in real compositions: what perception research shows, how to detect each interaction, and how masters use them.

    55 min · Exercise: Classify the interactions in one accord

Identity and method

  1. Originality, Signature and the Luxury Brief

    Interpret a complex luxury brief, differentiate an answer from what already exists, and build a signature that is a method rather than a repeated formula.

    50 min · Exercise: Answer a complex brief with a differentiation map

  2. Reconstruction as a Research Method

    Use reconstruction to learn rather than copy: hypothesis-driven rebuilding of a natural or a classic structure from published data, tested by omission.

    55 min · Exercise: Reconstruct one natural material from published data

  3. Mastery Project: A Signature Composition and Its Mod Tree

    The creative mastery project: develop one signature composition through a documented tree of modifications, with architecture, tests and an outside critique.
