• PerfumersWorld Foundation Course

  If you are interested in learning to create your own original fragrances using the methods of professional perfumers, the PerfumersWorld Foundation Course is your logical starting point, as it has been for hundreds of others for over 20 years.

  The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course consists of ten blocks of online lessons plus the K-26 kit that gives you the materials and equipment needed to begin creating your own perfumes.

  The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course follows the same teaching plan used by Stephen V. Dowthwaite in his 5-Day, face-to-face workshops. These workshops are excellent training if you are able to attend one but none are currently scheduled for either the United States or Europe.

  We ship the K-26 materials kit globally from our office in Maybrook, New York. Domestic orders are shipped by Priority Mail, Canadian orders by International First Class Mail, and all other shipments by Express Mail International. We regret that due to customs regulations we cannot ship the K-26 kit to Saudi Arabia or Brazil.

  Please note: The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course is not a kit with materials allowing you to produce a single signature perfume. The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course is training in perfumery, starting from the absolute beginning, requiring no previous training in either chemistry or perfumery but giving you the tools you need to develop the ability to create — as professional perfumers do — fragrances based on your own aroma concepts and your own creative ideas.

  The PerfumersWorld Foundation Course was developed by Dowthwaite out of more than thirty years experience working in the perfume industry and, in that time, providing perfumery training to over 6,000 students via online courses, in-person workshops, and private courses. Dowthwaite's training methods, as demonstrated in the Foundation Course, are highly effective and well proven in the real world of perfumery. The backgrounds of his students range from absolute beginners to holders of PhD degrees who have worked inside some of the world's largest fragrance houses.

  The more you put into this course, the more you will get out of it and, if you wish to go on from here, PerfumersWorld does offer advanced training.
