Roja Dove is one of the world’s most respected Perfumers, described by The New York Times as ‘a master tailor of scent’, by The Financial Times as ‘a legendary figure in the world of scent’, and by GQ as ‘the greatest nose in the world’. Roja’s philosophy, focused on creativity and craftsmanship, combine with his extraordinary experience to define him as one of the most complete and provocative authorities on fragrance. He is the creator of Roja Parfums, which became Harrod’s most successful launch in history, and is an Ambassador for the GREAT Britain Campaign. 

Roja’s talk will focus on developments in perfumery through the inventions of new synthetic molecules, and how this paved the way for new styles, families and effects in perfume launches through each decade since 1882. Sit back with a special Institute of Making glowing G&T and let Roja thrill you with his masterful knowledge of the history of perfume; how phases of perfumery connect to key developments in culture, science and the arts, all brought to life with exciting olfactory examples.

This workshop is part of the Festival of Stuff.
