Perfumers and their palette

Learn how perfumers think, smell and evaluate raw materials – guided by a Master Perfumer

This is for you if

  • You want to go beyond surface-level perfume appreciation
  • You want to understand raw materials and how they are obtained and used
  • You're curious how perfumers think and construct fragrances
  • You enjoy structured, skill-based sensory learning

This may not be for you if

  • You're looking only for casual perfume entertainment
  • You want ready-made formulas
  • You prefer surface-level fragrance discussions

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN & EXPERIENCE

In this workshop, you will:

  • Explore a perfumer's core palette of materials
  • Understand how to smell and memorise odours
  • Learn how the sense of smell works
  • Smell with intention like a perfumer, not a consumer
  • Participate in smell quizzes, interactive discussions, and guided exercise
  • Watch how natural raw materials are extracted in Europe
  • Participate in extended, more immersive live sessions
  • Gain deeper understanding through advanced material breakdowns

This workshop focuses on discovery and structured exploration of the fragrance world.

Why Perfumer's Palette is Different

  • Material-focused learning — not brand storytelling

  • Guided smelling exercises — not passive listening

  • Live interaction and feedback

  • Foundational learning for anyone serious about perfumery


Think of this as learning colours before painting.

What you'll receive at home

  • A curated palette of perfumery materials
  • Blotters and structured smelling worksheets
  • Tools required for guided exercises
