Advanced Perfumery

Advance your skill level in this course, which is a continuation of the Technique and Language of Perfumery course, PMPF 310. Improve your olfaction skills, master fragrance classification, memorize key raw materials and their illustration in market products, and develop your perfumery culture. You will review olfactive families of citrus, aromatic, new freshness, marine; floral, aldehydic, green, fruity; woody, spicy, powdery, gourmand, musk; and chypre, oriental, leather, ambery, and fougère. You will also study the key raw materials in each olfactive family (naturals, synthetic ingredients, and specialties), key fragrances, and latest trends in each olfactive family (women's and men's fragrances). This is not a course that teaches the writing of a formula and instead one learns to recognize with an understanding of each families importance in a fragrance structure.
