Want to know the biggest mistake people make when creating perfumes?
Before I tell you the answer, lets just back up a bit as it will save you a tonne of time, money and frustration…
Here’s the process most people go through when getting started with perfumery :
- Think of a vague idea of what they want it to smell like
- Gather all the materials they like the smell of
- Start adding materials to a beaker and hope for the best
-
Keep adding a bit of this and a bit of that until it vaguely smells ok or they give up and throw it out.
-
Feel despondent and like they are never going to make a perfume that works
-
Occasionally hit on a happy accident that they like by pure fluke
-
Start the process again for their next trial
Guess the mistake yet?
YUP ...They miss out the Story!
I get it, most people want to just want just get stuck in and start making, but a bit of time spent planning and creating a great story will shift your scent from blah to brilliant

Frequently Asked Questions
I make skincare products, is this class suitable for me?
Yes! It doesn't matter if you are making perfume, room fragrance or skincare - you still need to design the scent. We will talk about the scent design of various product types in the challenge.
I'm complete beginner, is this class suitable for me?
Absolutely! This is the best place to start so you have a clear idea of what you want to create and the materials you will need to make it.
I already make my own scent, is this class right for me?
Yes! Many of my Artisan Perfumery Mastermind students joined the challenge to work on a specific project. Even more experienced people struggle with the planning and design stage too.
I could easily charge £££ for this training (and I probably will in future) but I wanted to make it easily accessible for everyone
Scent design is such a foundational piece that even experienced people sometimes skip over and don’t realise it’s the reason why their fragrances don’t work.
