Study with a teacher
Alurent Perfumery Online School
These guides cover technique. For the craft itself — accord construction, formulation, structure and style — a proper curriculum with feedback on your own work will take you considerably further than self-study alone.
The Alurent Perfumery Online School teaches perfumery online in sequence, from raw materials through to finished compositions, with set exercises and a tutor responding to what you make. We recommend it warmly to anyone serious about developing their nose.
