EDUCATING & BECOMING A PERFUMER

Perfume Chemistry

In recent times multiple institutes of Perfumery have become available. Historically, perfumery schools have been closely held in house at most of our prominent industry fragrance houses. With the growing interest and enthusiasm on going in the perfumery field this has begun to branch out into independent schools with accreditation from our industry companies, acknowledgement from government and our organizations.  Below is a list of some of these schools all located currently in Europe.  See additional information below for US based certificate only programs.
