It was fantastic to be able to create perfumes so soon. Emmanuelle is a wonderful teacher and so adorable. It’s great to learn from someone so interested in the subject. I found the course very enjoyable because it’s broken down into a logical order and the lessons are the right length to cover all the information needed, but not too long, which helps in remembering the important facts. I could repeat lessons if I needed to which was also helpful.

This course was exactly what I needed to start my journey into perfumery. The content is well-structured, and the hands-on exercises made a huge difference in my understanding of blending.

Sophie

LOVE the full course - so informative and provides all the necessary information and ingredients needed to get you started and experimenting with perfumery. Also, Emmanuelle is so professional and knowledgeable and is a real expert (such a pleasure learning from!) - many thanks for sharing the valuable knowledge!

Aleksandra

First of all I feel very fortunate that I found YOU, I have been always very sensitive to scents and smells and using this sense consciously should be taught at school, we would all be happier. Second of all the course is very well built, easy to follow, gives us enough support and leaves room for own creativity as well. The typography is lovely, clean and all hand-out materials, mood photos, etc. are very beautiful and help the cognition process. The Q&A session (pre-recorded or online) are both great, scheduled in time. I love the summary part at the end of the course as well.
