GHOST ATTAR – An Olfactory Creation Workshop with Nathan Taare

Smell the ghosts.

This is an invitation to step into the unseen world of scent—where each bottle holds a ghost: a single, strange aroma molecule rarely encountered in everyday life. You’ll be guided through eight of these spectral smells, choosing the ones that spark something in you. A memory, a vision, a place, a question.

Each participant will select their own combination—blending a ghostly accord that will be finished with an ancient base oil, creating a 3ml attar you can wear or keep. This is your GHOST ATTAR: a personal potion, a bottled haunting, a scent you’ve summoned.

It’s not about getting it “right”—it’s about the encounter. Who or what have you smelled? What story does it leave behind?

Collect the ghosts.

Led by OfBody perfumer Nathan Taare, whose work Olfactory Ghost is a part of The Brood.
