Perfume Makers! Take advantage of this golden opportunity to
Become A Better Creator Of Perfume!
Now you can gain additional skills that will improve your ability to translate perfume dreams into outstanding finished fragrances!
If you are currently making your own perfumes, I would like to talk to you about what you are doing. Like you, I make my own perfumes — from formulas I develop myself — using a range of essential oils and other materials that are right here in front of me on my desk.
Because I am the owner of this website and the person behind our "members only" Perfume Maker's Club, I receive a good many questions from people like yourself who are making their own perfume but have run into issues for which they are seeking help. Often they are dissatisfied with the results they are achieving because they went into perfumery believing they could do better. In some cases I can help but I am not a professional perfumer. More often I recommend the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course.
Some quick
background
Some years ago I began selling my own perfume, and — while this was all on a very small scale — my fragrances sold quite successfully. In time I wrote two books about what I had done and how I had done it, to help others who wanted to do it too.
But while I did all the bottling and labeling myself, the "juice" — the fragrance itself — for my perfumes was stock, off the shelf, fragrance compound that anyone could buy. But, as my interest in perfume grew, I resolved I would develop my own original perfumes ... and I would make them myself.
My decision to learn perfumery and create original perfumes was not a "smart" business decision, but it was a decision I will never regret.
Learning how to
make perfume
How do you become a perfumer? There is no college course. There is no trade school. Internet websites offer as much misinformation and outright fiction as fact. I bought books; I bought essential oils. I got nowhere. I knew what I was looking for but I didn't know how to find it. I didn't know if it even existed. Then I discovered PerfumersWorld.
PerfumersWorld offers a "Foundation Course" in creative fine perfumery which was just what I was looking for. I have since discovered that it is probably the only course of its kind available in English in the entire world. It was developed by a very talented and creative English perfumer, Stephen V. Dowthwaite, and it was developed out of his work in Thailand training hundreds of Asian students.
The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course is a complete, home study course, with all materials supplied. Because a large percentage of the students for whom it was originally developed spoke English as a second language, the text and concepts in the course are highly simplified so that they can easily be grasped and applied by students (like myself) who don't have a technical background and who have never studied chemistry. (In the course, the topic of chemistry is not avoided, it is simply presented in such a way that the important concepts can be grasped quite easily by people, like me, who have no prior knowledge.)
As a result of discovering — and completing — the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course, within less than a year I was able to produce my first "commercial" perfume.
While the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course gives you a number of simple formulas you can mix to create beautiful fragrances, these examples are not intended to be the course but, rather, to build your confidence in the use of these materials and to demonstrate that the essence of creating a successful perfume lies in your knowledge of aroma materials and their use, how to select the right material for the right effect, and the importance of using just the right amount of each selected material to achieve the fragrance you have visualized. (The Foundation Course includes all materials needed to carry out these simple but wonderfully fragrant demonstrations.)
But the real purpose of the course is to train you to create your own formulas, from your knowledge, imagination and intuition. The Foundation Course simply gives you an understanding of perfumery materials and techniques, to allow you make more effective use of your imagination in the creation of your perfumes.
Both study materials and
supplies are included
The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course is a complete package. There is no requirement for additional supplies. With the materials you receive with the course, you can carry out the experiments offered in the course as well as beginning to develop perfumes of your own. The kit you receive even included non-alcoholic solvent, so that you can translate your first perfume compound into a finished perfume, eau de toilette or cologne immediately. Bottles are also included.
The fundamental elements of the Foundation Course are as follows:
10 blocks of online lessons on perfumery creation and applications,
25 aroma bases to use for the experiments given in the course to produce examples of a range of "types" of modern perfumes,
Non-alcoholic solvent, mixing pots and all required accessories,
The Perfumers Workbook, perfume development software to install on your computer to give you immediate access to the characteristics of hundreds of natural and synthetic aroma materials. A "wizard" is even included in the software to help you develop and perfect your own perfumes,
An exercise book and study guide, An introduction to the ABC's of Perfumery, that will help you get started immediately.
Regardless of how far you ultimately go with your work in perfumery, I believe that you will find yourself returning again and again to the "basics" of the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course.
This is what you can
expect from the course
You may already be creating excellent perfume — perfumes far more beautiful my own — but that's not the issue. The real question is, "Are your perfumes as good as you would like them to be?" Or, in the future, would you like to start making them even better!
Talented people sometimes complain that school and structured training inhibit creativity. But in the case of perfumery, knowledge is essential if you hope to realize your very highest creative goals. The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course was developed by a perfumer who has assisted in the training of hundreds of independent perfumers worldwide. Unless you have already had the benefit of high level professional training, the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course is practically guaranteed to help your next perfume achieve greater balance, depth and tenacity.
This means your perfumes can become more "interesting" — less "flat" and one dimensional — with a smoother transition as top notes, middle notes and base noted unfold. And, you'll be better able to defeat that constant bugaboo — short odor life — by learning how to construct perfumes that are wonderfully long lasting.
In practical terms, this simply means that your perfumes can become more enjoyable to others, while giving greater satisfaction to you, the creator.
Don't miss out on this
straight path to improving
your perfumery skills due
to a misunderstanding!
To people with a serious desire to create their own perfumes, the cost of the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course may seem unrealistically low. After all, it is less than what many colleges charge for a one-semester course — without required books and supplies. And it is just a fraction of the cost of Ernest Guenther's classic 6-volume treatise, "The Essential Oils."
If we viewed the sale of the Foundation Course as a one-time transaction with you, PerfumersWorld would have set the price considerably higher. But having worked with thousands of students from around the world, PerfumersWorld knows that a substantial number of students who complete the Foundation Course will go on to advanced instruction with PerfumersWorld. And many will become customers for the hundreds of aroma materials — absolutes, essential oils and synthetics — that PerfumersWorld.com stocks and sells in sizes as small as 10 grams.
Thus the Foundation Course has been made highly affordable in order to introduce you to PerfumersWorld, and demonstrate to you how your own work in perfumery can undergo a dramatic improvement.
Today the price of the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course is just $229.95. This price includes aroma materials, study guide, perfume creation software for your computer, and ten blocks of online lessons that lead to a certificate of completion.
