The library at the Institute for Art and Olfaction contains a perfume archive of over a thousand fine fragrances, pieces of olfactory art, and more.
As part of the 
IAO's celebration of Viscose Journal 07 on Scent
, Charles Rosenberg leads a smelling session through critical perfumes and aromatic materials discussed in the journal. Participants are strongly encourage to have and read a copy of Viscose Journal 07 before the start of the class, but it is not required. Viscose Journal 07 on Scent is available for purchase in person at the Institute for Art and Olfaction or 
via the internet
.
Viscose 07 examines scent through a variety of lenses, observing its historical and contemporary role in fashion culture. The issue seeks out scent histories-developed with or by artists and designers-who have embraced and involved smell as a medium of possibility and knowledge production, gesturing to histories of manufacturing, trade, branding, and commerce, but also sexuality, desire, identity, and memory. Participants will get to smell as many scents as time allows, in a group setting. Our discussion will focus on the impressions of the perfumes and their concordance with their accompanying images and texts. This smelling session will be a special opportunity to smell fine fragrances from our library archive that we otherwise do not allow everyday access to.

We arrive around 12:00noon so the main parking area is already full. They told us to park in the science center building which you need to walk around 5-10mins which is not a problem for us. Its a 3 floor building and we really enjoyed checking each artifacts.

Sunset Blvd

Tn Around

Sunset Boulevard is one one the most iconic things about LA but, it is ultimately just a road. There is no doubt that it covers a few highlights e.g. Playboy Mansion, the Oppenheim Group and leads straight to Hollywood but it&#39;s something you end up passing through rather than venturing to.
