June 2023: Weekend Natural Perfumery Intensive Course ONLINE - PART 2

 Beginner level class                        

This is an ONLINE natural botanical perfumery class that will take place the weekend of June 10-11, 2023. We have expanded our extremely popular in-person Weekend Intensive Course into three separate online classes in order to cover more information in greater depth. This course is Introduction to Natural Perfumery: Part 2.  This class will teach students how to independently formulate and evaluate their compositions while building upon content from Part 1.  In addition, a focus on longevity and sillage of fragrance creation will be taught through a variety of unique methods taught by our perfumer Charna Ethier.

Students must take the Part 1 course before registering for Part 2. Upon completion of all three segments of the Natural Perfumery Intensive Course, students will receive a certificate of completion. In order to complete your registration and attend Part 2, students are required to purchase the  Natural Perfumery Expansion Kit. Please note the last possible date the kit may be purchased is May 25th, so we may ensure you receive your kit in time for class.  We encourage you to sign up for this class as early as possible, as it typically sells out well ahead of the class meeting dates.
