Sporting a fine scent is the best way to attract potential mates without wearing expensive designer magnets. Safely send signals with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a 30-minute perfume making class from Sweet Anthem Handmade Perfumes, hosted by Knows Perfume in the West Seattle junction.
Meredith Smith, professional perfumer and owner of Sweet Anthem Handmade Perfumes, divulges the secrets of achieving olfactory opulence. In a 30-minute session, students will learn the core smellological principles behind creating stunning fragrances, such as perfume composition, terms, and ingredient volatility, and the senses explore the intricacies of botanical essences and synthetic materials. After the instruction, skilled sniffers can put Smith's tutelage into practice, fusing three ingredients to concoct 7 milliliters of personalized potion that can help you stand out in a crowd and get your love letters to the editor opened.
Each course comes with a handy how-to guide that reinforces the concepts covered in the session, and it ends with a casual Q&A session set in Know Perfume's blend of 1920s-style architecture and modern furniture. Classes are limited in dates and size to ensure individual attention and familiarity with one another's musk, so be sure to sign up in advance; click here to see course schedules.

Groupon Says
The Groupon Guide to: Fire Safety
For as long as matches have existed, so has fire. If you suspect that your house may be aflame, stay safe by following these simple steps:
S-M-O-K-E
S: Search for the source. The only way to protect yourself is to be informed.
M: Measure the diameter of the fire. The firemen need this for their records.
O: Open a window next to the flames so that a stiff breeze might blow the fire out.
K: Kiss all of your favorite possessions. You won't have time to take them with you.
E: Escape up the chimney (the last place a fire would look for you) and wait quietly on the roof for rescue.
