What You Will Learn

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.

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.

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

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.
