Have you ever dreamed of working in perfume, but had no idea where to begin?
Or wondered how fragrances are actually made, who creates them, who decides what they smell like, and what happens between an idea and the bottle on the shelf?
By popular demand, I’m running a 90-minute live class that opens the door to the perfume industry, from an insider’s perspective but made for those starting from the outside.
SOLD OUT
I trained at IFF as a perfumer under Sophia Grojsman, one of the legendary creators of modern perfumery, and I’ve spent over 20 years working in the fragrance world — from formulation and evaluation to writing and education. I’ve worked with nearly all major supplier companies and today, I teach perfumery at ISIPCA, the leading perfume school in Versailles.
Through this class I want to share what I’ve learned about how the industry truly works and how you can find your own path into it.
We’ll talk about:
How the perfume industry is structured: brands, fragrance houses, perfumers, evaluators, marketing teams.
How a fragrance goes from a brief to a finished product.
The skills that matter most today.
Realistic paths to entering the field, even without a traditional background.
Practical advice, resources, and Q&A. You’ll have a chance to send me your questions before the class.
Whether you’re a perfume lover, a creative professional, or someone exploring a new career path, this class is designed to give you clarity, direction, and inspiration.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes (live on Zoom)
Price: €85 per participant
Small class size to keep it interactive
Date: November 8, 2025, Saturday, 12:00-13:30 EST/18:00-19:30 CET
Replay available for registered participants
If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to be part of this fascinating world, this class is your starting point.

Adrienne: I can’t wait! I need your help to figure out what in my background is relevant. I also would like to know whether a chemistry degree is a must. November 2, 2025 at 3:30am

mithun gowda: This passage is a powerful mission statement for the modern fragrance industry. It critiques the status quo—the creation of “polished copies of Parisian classics”—and boldly asserts that the future of perfumery lies in sincerity, new global voices, and diverse cultural references.
The author creates a vivid image of Shanghai as the birthplace of this new future, suggesting that innovation is currently happening outside the traditional European centers. The phrase “sincere storytelling” is the core takeaway, highlighting a shift from merely good chemistry to meaningful, personal artistic expression in scent. November 17, 2025 at 7:03am
