The Learning Process
Training is engaging, interactive, and intense as students participate in the discovery of most commonly used motifs in fragrance. Fragrance apprentices are expected to actively engage in the creative process to exercise proficiency throughout their growth into perfumers. Our methodology encourages students to engage themselves in feel meaningful as their new knowledge is immediately applicable.
We expect students to become self-sufficient collaborators. Independence in perfumery is exhibited by perfumers who cultivate a growing database of their own formulas and exhibit fluency of all domains of perfume. A collaborator excels in group environments; they are able to critique fragrances as well as receive critique for their own work. A collaborator identifies valuable notes and motifs within a scent in seek of the intersection between the story that is being told by the perfume, and the story that the customer desires.
