How To Create a Signature Fragrance
Today’s question comes from Maureen – she asked: “How do I go about creating a signature fragrance for my product line” This is something I get asked a lot from people who want to learn perfumery to create fragrances for their own business. There are two routes that you can go down; one is [...]
Are Fragrance Oils Safe?
Today’s question comes from Debbie: “My dilemma is that I love making products with essential oils. All of my body products are made with essential oils and so I wanted to use them for candles and some wax melt tarts that I’m going to be making with beeswax and soy. However I’ve had a lot [...]
Valentines Day Love Potion
Happy Valentines Day! The fact that it’s Valentines day got me thinking about a little business I had way back when I was just starting to get to grips with the internet – I know, romantic huh!

Molinard Perfumery In Grasse
I went along to The Molinard perfumery in the hope that I could do the perfumery tour followed by their perfume making class. Unfortunately when I got there, and despite the fact that the guide spoke perfect English, I was told the tour would only be in French due to demand. That was a bit [...]

Brad Pitt in new Chanel No.5 Ad
Just like the juice in Fame by Lady Gaga this ad for Chanel No.5 could have been so great. With a big budget & Brad Pitt, Chanel who have put out some gorgeous mini movie type ads for their fragrances in the past seem to have lost the plot with this one! There is so [...]
3 of my favourite things: Perfume, Teaching & Travel
In March 2010 I decided to take a backseat from my retail business and do more of the things I love which mostly involves one or more of the above. Since that decision was made I haven’t looked back and have been extremely busy enjoying life and working hard on my teaching business which has [...]
Perfume – Art or Consumer Product?
Talking to many perfumers they would say it is an art but I’m not sure that the companies they are creating for would agree. Look at any large distribution fragrance brand and you will notice that the art goes into the advertising campaign and the packaging – the juice is almost an a fterthought. The [...]
