Terry Carter opens Travertine Studio for an afternoon of perfumery, featuring a lively panel discussion on Entrepreneurship and Ethics (with Christophe Laudamiel, Ethan Turner, Chavalia Mwamba), an Indie Perfumer’s Marketplace, new friends, and good times.

May 11, Cicada Club

Celebrate the finalists and winners, as the 9th edition of the Art and Olfaction Awards returns to the city where it all began: Los Angeles! For maximum Art Deco glamour, we chose the historic Cicada Club as our venue. It's swanky, it's beautiful, and it'll be a lot of fun.

May 9, IAO Gallery

IAO hosts a private view for Romanian artist Cristian Marianciuc’s Olfactory Peregrinations:  jewel-like paper birds, delicately cut, folded and glued to evoke the sensorial impressions produced by contemporary and vintage perfumes.
