​The Certificate in Perfumery Art 


The aim of the course is to empower the student with sufficient knowledge so as to be able to create their own fragrances, using traditional perfume-making methods from the HOUSE OF GRASSE.

This is a unique course that is different from any perfumery course you might come across as it focuses on the ART of perfumery and not on the Chemistry of it. This Certificate course is certified by CPD UK and is ideal for hobbyists or people who have zero knowledge of the Art of perfume-making.

The methodology we use is based on our unique S.C.E.N.T.© approach. With the Certificate, the focus is on:

-Smell: Discover the main raw materials, their structure and get acquainted to your sense of smell; learn to build up accords and to harmonise notes
​
-Create: Learn the architecture of a perfume and the traditional methods used to create fragrances and use your knowledge in other applications
​
