Jodi Battershell of Fragrantica calls our Cardamom Rose, "a beautifully balanced blend and one of the most unique-smelling natural perfumes I've encountered in some time."
Level 1 course will focus on botanical and natural ingredients. It covers raw materials, a brief history of olfaction and the art of perfume making, note categories and the perfumer’s palette, evaluation notes and accords, fragrance analysis, fragrance briefing, and perfume creation.
For virtual instruction, we advise registering 10 days prior to your scheduled class to insure advanced delivery of the Raw Materials Kit.
