The Perfume Academy for Blind Children, opened last year on the premises Center for Social Integration Diana Gurtskaya, continues to attract new participants. Recently, a well-known cosmetics company became its partner – children, under the guidance of experienced mentors, create thematic perfume selections. Now, participants of the Moscow Longevity project have come to the blind children and, together with young perfumers, have created a line of fragrances called Childhood.
“The Perfume Academy has gone beyond a simple project. Today, it is a full-fledged platform where, together with city partners, we organize professional master classes for visually impaired children. Participants of the Moscow Longevity project have joined the new master class, which we called “Scents of Childhood.” Scents are real conductors of memories, emotions, and associations. For young participants in the project, master classes open up a completely new way of understanding the world around us, help develop imagination and sensory perception. The older generation gets the opportunity to share their stories and memories, and once again experience the joy of their first discoveries and bright moments of childhood. Working with scents is becoming a unique tool for socialization, communication, exchange of experience, and positive emotions,” said Anton Lebedev, director of the Diana Gurtskaya Social Integration Center.
The smell of bread, grass and asphalt
The participants were divided into groups: at each table were placed blind children and mentors of the older generation, who helped the children navigate the numerous jars of fragrances and keep records of the future composition. The perfume expert told about how to correctly compose aromatic combinations, what are the associations of color and aroma, and also explained the meaning of top and base notes.
Before the start of the creative process, the participants of the master class familiarized themselves with the provided fragrances, shared their thoughts about what childhood is associated with, and began to create unique perfume compositions that formed the basis of the future “Childhood” collection.
Participants of Moscow Longevity told young Muscovites about their childhood, which they associate with the smells of freshly baked bread, grass mown at dawn, and hot asphalt. For Lyudmila Khan from the Moscow Longevity Center Nekrasovka, the smell of childhood is her mother’s pies.
“For me, this master class is not just about creating perfume, but about meeting with warmth and memory. When I worked with blind children, we remembered the most precious smells together. And my favorite is my mother’s pies: cinnamon, vanilla, warm dough. This is the aroma of childhood, which always warms the soul. I was amazed at how children subtly sense aromas and create different combinations of notes. Each of us has different associations with childhood – the smell after rain, the smell of lilacs, apples or even frosty freshness, but we are united by a common feeling of lightness and simple joy, despite age or health issues,” shared Lyudmila Khan.
The young perfumers said that their favorite scents are the smell of amusement park popcorn, sweet vanilla buns and delicious chocolate cake. As a result, each participant created a unique scent that reflects the idea of childhood with its carefree, warm memories, family evenings and bouquets of wild flowers.
The master class was held in a warm atmosphere – with stories from life, laughter and smiles. Each participant was able to take home not only positive emotions and impressions, but also the fragrance they created.
As noted Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development, as part of the advanced course at the Perfumery Academy, children become familiar with production, the professions of an evaluator, technologist, perfume stylist, and, under the guidance of experienced mentors, create unique aromatic compositions.
