a multi-sensory workshop, montreal

Jun 1, 2025

What does green smell like? In The Colour of Scent, we’ll step into the many dimensions of green—through smell, taste, and touch.

Led by Heather from chimie and perfumer Léa Hiram, this two-hour workshop invites you to explore green not just as a colour, but as a multi-sensory experience. We draw inspiration from synesthesia, a phenomenon where the senses blend, allowing us to experience colour, smell, and taste together.

You'll be guided through raw materials, perfumes and teas selected to capture the intricate expressions, and sometimes surprising facets, of green.

Participants will also engage visually, using a green pencils to sketch, scribble, or map what they smell.
