CRÉATEUR DE PARFUMS
Perfume is a symbol of timeless elegance and refinement through which to express one’s personality and state of mind. Transforming ideas into scents is however a very complex art that requires specific knowledge and a keen sensibility.
The Crèateur de Perfumes Summer School is designed to bring students closer to the perfume world, developing a deep understanding of the profession.
Under the tutorship of master perfumers, students will learn the main principles behind olfactory and sensory evaluation, working with raw materials and finished products and learning to evaluate, recognize and re-create scents and fragrances.
