PERFUMERS' ACADEMY
Creativity, a “nose” for scents and market knowledge are only a few of the things a successful perfumer needs to have. In training our employees, the Perfumers’ Academy goes far beyond these fundamentals and breaks new ground in professional development. The multi-phase program not only educates perfumers – it inspires them.
- In our Perfumery School students are taught about raw materials and trained in the three fields of Fine Fragrance, Personal Care and Household Products. This program is followed by an internship abroad. Applicants must pass an extensive sensory abilities test to enroll in the program.
- The courses for graduates and postgraduates include training in chemistry, techniques in presenting fragrance creations, competence in coaching and mentoring, and financial management skills.
- Our senior perfumers take part in Scent Expeditions – worldwide journeys to countries of particular interest and relevance from an olfactory, cultural or market perspective. Discovering the origin of scents, encountering people on site and exploring markets, production facilities, and growing areas: all of these things become a source of inspiration and open the doors to expanding and renewing creative and technical expertise, even for more experienced perfumers.
