Perfumery Course

Learn perfumery. Create your own fragrances from scratch, from professional aroma materials. Our friends at PerfumersWorld offer their very reasonably priced home study Foundation Course: The Art and Technology of Fragrance Creation. The package includes well structured lessons and all lab supplies and aroma materials needed to create a very wide variety of fragrances.

There is no better time than now to develop your skill as a perfumer and begin to compound your own fragrances.

PerfumersWorld is also a source of a very wide range of perfumery creation materials which they make available in both large and small quantities (no minimum order). Listings of other sources of perfumery materials and equipment can be found here.
