Training Your Nose
When I tell people who don’t know me what I do the first thing they say is “you must have a really good nose” or “you must be really sensitive to smells” . If they have an interest in learning perfumery they ask “how do I train my nose” Anosmia aside, I do not believe […]

There was a lot of confusion because every book she looked at written by different aromatherapists stated a different number of “safe drops” per ml of base […]
How Do I Use Perfumer’s Alcohol?
When starting out in perfumery and learning about the raw materials used it is easiest to work with blends made in alcohol,before moving on to other mediums. Many natural perfumers who have started out via the aromatherapy route often create fragrances in an oil base which makes many materials extremely difficult to work with. The […]
Creating a perfume brand on a limited budget
I had an email a couple of weeks ago that is a common question I get asked. It went along the lines of “have a dream to create my own perfume brand but I can’t afford to pay for a course – where do I start with limited funds” This is such a difficult thing […]
Creating Bespoke Fragrances
