Perfumer Program

Are great perfumers made or born? Based on the industry legends who have emerged through our Perfumer program, we believe both nature and nurture are involved. This cross-border program, which runs for 4-5 years, immerses you on the world of frangrance creation. You learn about natural and synthetic ingredients, fragrance design and marketing, consumer research and product roll-out. Your teachers and mentors will include some of the worlds' leading perfumers.
