Imagine...

…Wearing a scent nobody else has

…Gifting your friends and family a special scent made by you

…Creating a successful perfumery business that expands into
all kinds of scented products

For the past 10+ years I’ve been helping
thousands of students do exactly that!

– Create beautiful smelling scents.

My Perfumery Journey

I fell into the skincare and perfumery industry many years ago by accident and never quite left!

When I was younger I worried that beauty and perfumery wasn’t an academic or worthwhile career choice.

Over the years I’ve come to realise that what is important is happiness and that feeling you get when everything is right in your world, regardless of the chaos outside.

A Passion for Teaching Perfumery

I love sharing what I know and have the unique background of having worked both inside the fragrance industry (as an evaluator for IFF ) as well as inside the natural skincare industry (in product development and retail training for Neal’s Yard Remedies) since the 1990’s
I have developed and delivered training for companies as well as my own students and built 2 profitable business both on and offline.

I have no affiliation with any company and I will always be 100% transparent and truthful – no fluff guaranteed!

Over the years I’ve trained a huge variety of people from all walks of life in fragrance creation. From buyers for huge brands, fragrance professionals, retail staff, bloggers, journalists, small business owners, aromatherapists, herbalists, fashion designers, artists, accountants, and the odd neuroscientist – most were complete newbies to perfumery.

What I’m most passionate about however when it comes to teaching is sharing my life’s work through my signature course, The Artisan Perfumery Mastermind.
