If you are in the vicinity of the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto, be sure to check out the exhibit "Making Her Mark: A History of Women Artists in Europe, 1400-1800" where the marvellously talented aroma researcher Dr. Melanie McBride has constructed a set of fragrances presented in boxes which, when opened, release a complex aroma inspired by the materials and period presented. Dr McBride made these fragrances using Fraterworks bases and blends of wonderful natural essential oils and aroma chemicals.
