Bespoke Perfumes, A Course in Natural Perfumery – May 18 – 20, 2009 or September 14 - 16, 2009Monte Colombo, Italy, April 10, 2009 - Making perfumes is easy. Not everyone who chooses to learn about scent will become a professional perfumer but anyone can make good perfumes.

AbdesSalaam Attar’s perfume course in Italy is ideal for those who want to discover the little-known world of olfactory psychology as well as for aspiring natural perfumers. You will compose perfumes and learn how scent links to mind, emotion and spirit. The course admits only 10 students – the intimate group size assures that each student gets a high level of personal attention.

Take this opportunity to expand your creative powers as you experience the rarest and most beautiful aromatic materials in the world including genuine ambergris, orris, tuberose and many other scents rarely found today in commercial perfumes.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Day One - Introduction to Bespoke Perfumery Day One is dedicated to the discovery of scents and their meaning, to the ethics and philosophy of perfumery. In the morning, you will experience the animal scents, their story and meaning, understand pheromones and why they belong to perfumery. You will smell essential perfumery ingredients that constitute “archetypes” within the world of perfume. In the afternoon, you will discover the perfumer’s tools and learn how to use them. Every student will make a bespoke perfume for someone else. You will be amazed to see how easy it is to make wonderful perfumes using the proper method.

Day Two – Professional PerfumeryDay Two teaches the professional aspect of perfume making. The day is built upon practical exercises. In the morning, you will discover 14 new essences, learn how to smell, to "listen to the soul," to verbalize and categorize smells. In the afternoon, you will compose three perfumes in the manner of a professional perfumer, working from real requests from the market. Day two teaches the criteria and rules for building successful fragrances ranging from ambient fragrances, paper scenting aromas used in olfactory marketing and, of course, wearable personal perfumes.

Optional Third Day – Student-Driven Perfume DiscoveryStudents have the option to stay one more day following the structured two-day curriculum. The perfumer will make himself available for those who wish to delve more deeply into perfumery, clarify what they have learned so far during the course or discuss their personal projects with him. The optional day is at no extra charge.
