Smell is our most ancient sense, used before we were even human to investigate our surroundings, find suitable mates, to find food and recognize threats and safety. The course explores how our sense of smell is still used for these pre-historic purposes.

Our application of perfume goes back over 4000 years and the evolution of perfumery is related to our exploration of the globe, our understanding of science plus economic and social change. The course visits some key events to help understand how the fragrance industry became what it is today.

The ingredients of perfumery are waiting to be explored including clever plants and production methods. 20 key olfactive areas are available to smell through the sample kit. These odours can be further combined to appreciate the fragrance families discussed within the course. Insight into the often challenging and exciting world of modern perfumery is given in the final chapter.

The depth of knowledge gained can ideally be applied in sales and development situations, providing multiple talking points and enabling great interaction with customers. The course builds confidence and is a springboard for future learning.
