FAQ:
The course covers a lot of information which will be useful regardless of whether you follow along with our raw materials list or your own. The course is designed so that you can still follow along with your own collection of raw materials, even if it's small.
Over 400 raw materials are mentioned in the course, but it's not suggested that you purchase all of these. A list of the 117 raw materials used in formulas in the course is provided below. Having this collection will allow you to get the most out of the course since you'll be able to follow along with all of the formulas.
Most of the formulas are in the history of perfume structures module and some raw materials are only used in one formula. This means you can purchase the raw materials at your own pace and leave some of the formulas for later.
Struggling to source the raw materials on the list?
Perfumer's Apprentice (one of the main perfumery raw materials suppliers for hobbyists) have provided us with a convenient way to add all of the raw materials on the list to your shopping cart with only a few clicks. This means you can estimate the costs of purchasing the raw materials & shipping costs:
The tools & equipment for perfumery primer module explains exactly what you'll need to follow along with the course. You can purchase a starter kit from The Fragrance Foundry (below) which includes everything you'll need.
You'll also need Perfumer's alcohol. We cover exactly what to look for in the guide to alcohol and media primer module.
No, introduction to Math and Chemistry for perfumery primer modules are included which are designed to explain everything you need to know in an easy to understand way.
The course is all about creative perfumery for alcoholic perfumes (fine fragrances). While many of the skills will be transferrable to other media (e.g. perfume for reed diffusers, soaps, candles etc.), the course does not cover perfumery for those alternative media.
The course is given over video (not written documents) in English only. Other languages are not officially supported. However, the videos are hosted on Vimeo and it is possible to translate the automatic subtitles into your own language using the free Vimeo Subtitle Translator extension for the Google Chrome web browser. You can test this out on the free primer module video above before purchasing the course. There are some mistakes in the subtitles, but despite this, some non-English speaking students have found success following the course with this method.
