  • Intro to Perfumery: A Primer

    Fun class. The instructor was very thoughtful and nice : )

  • Intro to Perfumery: A Primer

    I thought it was very informative! Perfumery is a science! I think I was expecting something a little less technical, but that's not the fault of the course, more my lack of understanding of the perfumery process. The instructor was very knowledgeable and I thought he did a great job.
  • Intro to Perfumery: A Primer

    It was so informative and fun in unexpected ways. I'm someone who really enjoys the who/what/why/where/how behind things. I deeply enjoy wearing perfume and using it as a method of self expression. The class both deepens your knowledge and also expands it; I've found myself trying new scents and looking at perfumes with a more critical eye on sourcing and price. The conversation in the class was fantastic, both due to the classmates and the instructor. You don't make perfume in this class, but if you don't take this class, making perfume if you don't understand the process would be pointless. I particularly enjoyed the section around learning how to build a scent - the base, the middle, the foreground. If you enjoy perfume and would like to expand your scent palette, take this class.
  • Intro to Perfumery: A Primer

    This class was exceptional and it totally exceeded my expectations. The profesor is a wealth of information; a total savant in both the chemistry involved and the landscape of the industry. He will provide you with the most important tools to start your fragrance-making journey. I 100% recommend!
