All materials and equipment are provided and no previous experience is necessary. All you need is imagination and a love of perfumery.

You will also receive a set of 17 materials samples on booking a place. These will be sent to you before the class so you can start learning straight away.** (due to new postal rules concerning fragrances  I am currently unable to send these before the class, so they will be handed out on the day)**

I loved doing Karen Gilbert’s perfume class. Karen has brilliant knowledge from a previous career working with scent and how to combine them to create a personal perfume that no one else will have. Karen has a relaxed and friendly teaching style. There is nothing not to like about doing this course

Topics Covered

  • The History of Perfume
  • Where Do Fragrance Ingredients Come From and How Are They Made
  • The Sense of Smell and What it Means To Us
  • The Beginners Guide to Training your Nose
  • Top, Middle and Base notes and Why They Are Important
  • Practical Blending Techniques

By the end of this 1 day course you will:

  • Have an understanding of the historical significance of fragrance
  • Have learned about the different ingredients used in perfumery
  • Easily be able to classify aromatic ingredients into the different fragrance  families
  • Have practised blending top middle and base notes to create simple fragrances

What I loved about the workshop is that it was all hands on – from smelling classic perfumes, comparing different top, middle and base notes, to blending our own bespoke scents. Getting to smell oils and essences that I knew the names of but had never smelled individually – such as musk and ambergris – was fascinating.

Karen’s perfume class was lots of fun. She is very knowledgable and could answer all our questions. Karen has a very pleasant and easy teaching style and was good at keeping us all focused. We were able to all make our own solid and spray perfumes with Karen’s expert help on hand. What’s not to like. I have taken other classes with Karen and thoroughly recommend this class and all her classes – I had a wonderful time. Lynn P – London (Attended the 2 day artisan perfumery workshop)
