Perfume is a living Art...
And it has been recognised as such! In January 2012, the French Ministry of Culture honoured 5 master perfumers from renowned houses such as Caron and Guerlain for their contribution in the Art of perfume making which now stands at the same level as Literature & Poetry (Art & Letters).
A perfume is a picture painted in smells
Like music it has notes and tones
Like wine the more it macerates, the better it becomes.
Like cooking, when you mix the right ingredients, it is delicious!
In November 2018, the city of Grasse has been listed in the heritage places by UNESCO for its know-how about plants and Art of perfume composition. This confirms the tradition of French perfumery as an Art and places the city as the ever world capital of perfumery.

''LEARN TRADITIONAL FRENCH PERFUMERY WITH A PERFUMER'S MIND
FROM ESTABLISHED PROFESSIONAL PERFUMERS''
Learning the Art of SCENTS with us...
At the Perfumery Art School UK, our mission is to help you break and decode the secrets of centuries of Perfumery Art and to train you not only to become a perfumer but a NOSE.
Our school is unique in that we are teaching the ART OF PERFUMERY and not the CHEMISTRY of it so you don't need to know chemistry to create your own perfumes although a knowledge of it will probably be helpful as we do teach you the chemistry of essential oils. However, in our courses, there is a strong focus on developing your sense of smell and discovering the essence of scents and aromas in details to help you train your nose and become a Master in Perfume blending or other related aroma industries.
For decades, perfume crafting was the guarded territory of a handful of perfumers most commonly referred as 'noses'. Indeed, the rise of the trade of Perfumer became a job from the moment synthetic molecules were discovered at the end of the 19th century and in order to become a perfumer one usually needs to develop their nose through learning up to 4000 aroma chemicals.
However, original master perfumers were alchemists or apothecaries who knew how to create harmonious blends with natural ingredients such as essential oils and plant extracts.
As a student, you will receive all the support from experienced artisan and professional perfumers and you will be given ample opportunities to master your Art. Occasionally, we organise web events; we invite prestigious guests speakers to talk or write about the Art of Perfumery and we organise visits in distilleries and perfume houses as well as residential workshops in Europe.
As a registered student, you are given access to our unique Perfumery Art Students group on WhatsApp where you can ask questions directly to our tutors and obtain a real-time answer; share your perfumery journeys and findings and make announcements on your successes. Come and join our International group of students from all over the world who all share one common point: a PASSION for the Art of Perfumery!
