During Part II of the Natural Perfumery training, we will continue to hone our olfactory connoisseurship skills, practice recognizing perfumery scents, and learn how to make our products unique. The importance of quality ingredients and a focus on the creative process will be emphasized. We will further explore the wonderful and complicated nuances of perfume essences extracted from plants and make more of our own interesting extracts and tinctures as well as work with rare and exotic materials. Individual talents and scent preferences will be considered, as well as how to work towards our specific goals and market niches. Working from a perfumer’s brief and learning how to package and market our products will be introduced as well. Some class time will be devoted to preparation for the exam to be given three months after this class.

Note: There will be a materials fee of $90, paid directly to the instructor, to cover all materials, including essential oils, absolutes, carriers, bottles and handouts.

Note: This course is open to those who have taken Part I in August 2007 and July 2008 and to anyone who has studied perfumery and understands basic organoleptic evaluation and the various methods of structuring perfume. Students will receive a certificate of completion.
