A look into each chapter
FOUNDATION
Foundation (Weeks 1–6)
Over the first six weeks of the programme, you’ll establish a solid grounding in perfumery and acquire the confidence to begin blending your own fragrances at home. You’ll awaken your olfactory senses by recognising the most commonly used ingredients and practising with professional equipment to set up your own Perfumer’s Lab (all materials provided, from raw aroma compounds to scale, pipettes, bottles and scent strips). You’ll also explore the creative process behind a fragrance brief and learn to compose both simple and more intricate formulas for a variety of applications.
CHAPTER 2
Intermediate (Weeks 7–9)
During the ensuing three weeks, you’ll delve further into perfume creation, enhancing both your theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. You’ll examine ingredients by family and sub-family, discerning the subtle similarities and nuances that define each group. A particular focus on the floral family will see you crafting accords of jasmine, tuberose and ylang-ylang, equipping you to assemble a rich, complex bouquet and deepen your understanding of one of perfumery’s most essential categories.
CHAPTER 3
Advanced (Weeks 10–12)
In the final three weeks, you’ll tackle the most detailed and creative stage of the programme. You’ll investigate ten innovative accords and master tips to blend, weigh and formulate with professional precision. You’ll learn how to achieve balance, refine and evolve your formulations like seasoned perfumers, and uncover a wealth of new ingredients. By the end, you’ll be adept at formulating concentrated oils in various carriers and strengths, able to create both woody and oriental scents, and conversant with the key restrictions and legislation for commercial release.

Will I become a perfumer after completing the course?
No - this course is a foundation, not professional qualification. Real perfumers train for at least a year and gain years of industry experience. However, this programme gives you the essential skills and knowledge to start your perfumery journey. With dedication and practice, you can work towards becoming a perfumer over time.
Can I start my own perfume business after the course?
This course teaches the craft of perfumery -ingredients and formulation - not how to launch or run a perfume business. You’ll gain a solid foundation, but you’ll need professional advice on manufacturing, regulations, supply chains, legal requirements, marketing and packaging before going commercial. We recommend completing all three chapters, then consulting experienced industry partners in your country. Our course is for private use only; we do not provide business or commercial-launch guidance.
Can I get a refund?
We hope you’ll love the course so much that you will not want a refund! But if you do, unfortunately we regret to let you know our online courses are non-refundable!
