Advanced Perfumery Training (November, DUBAI)

5-day Advanced Perfumery Training is an intensive learning experience designed for individuals seeking to engage with perfumery at a professional level.

Over the span of five intensive sessions, our students study a  diverse range of aroma chemicals that comprise modern perfumes and trends, practice essential techniques in balancing scent and creating their very own first composition.

In addition to that, students take a plimpse of the industry, learn about the manufacturing/production process, and regulatory standards. 

Topics covered in this learning experience include (but are not limited to):

• Scent Chemistry Fundamentals
• Extraction Methods & Raw Materials
• Fragrance Families & Common Olfactive Forms
• ⁠Scent Manufacturing Process & Industry Regulations 
• Classic Methods of Scent Formulation
• Hands-On Experience in Creating Scents
• ... and much more

Expected Outcomes

After completing the Advanced Perfumery Course, you’ll gain a comprehensive framework of knowledge and practical skills to confidently continue your journey as an independent perfumer — equipped with the understanding and professionalism needed to approach your craft at an industry level.

What You’ll Learn

1. Logistics & Lab Setup
Learn how to establish your own perfumer’s lab — from understanding essential tools and raw materials to sourcing ingredients through trusted, reputable suppliers.

2. Scent Formulation
Master the core principles of fragrance formulation. You’ll learn how to build a scent formula from scratch in a professional and industry-compliant way.
While five days isn’t enough to cover everything, you’ll leave with:

• A set of foundational formulas for key accords to use as a backbone for your own creations.
• Access to reliable resources, references, and literature to support your continued formulation journey.

3. Manufacturing Process
Understand each step in transforming your formula into a finished product — from compounding and filtering to filling and packaging.

4. Sensory Evaluation & Expert Language
Not all students aim to become perfumers — some seek to deepen their sensory skills and learn to speak about fragrance more confidently and precisely.
This course helps you:

• Refine your olfactory evaluation abilities.

• Understand perfume genealogy, structures, and families.

• Build a professional vocabulary and perspective that elevates your expertise as a fragrance influencer, evaluator, or brand representative.

Upcoming dates:
