Year 3

From the 3rd year onwards, the focus shifts to perfume creation and evaluation. This includes understanding how to design the olfactory concept and achieve the desired olfactory result, beginning with the formulation of base accords and progressively combining different raw materials.

Creation depends on a perfect understanding of the raw materials and the perfume’s purpose (fine or functional perfumery), as well as on each individual’s creative abilities.

By the end of the first three years, each student will know and master around 300 raw materials, their origin, their production process, their physical and chemical characteristics, and their potential use to create the desired olfactory effect.
