    The class was great and informative. Marla provided information on soap making and addressed all our questions. The first half of the class was going over the process, how to calculate , and ingredients. The second half was the hands on with making the soap that we took home. Would recommend this class for those wanting to learn.

Perfumery allows individuals to create unique scents tailored specifically to their preferences. It is the art and science of crafting fragrances or perfumes by blending aromatic materials. This includes various ingredients such as essential oils, synthetic fragrance compounds, and botanical extracts. The perfumery process involves mastering several skills and techniques, including understanding fragrance families, balancing different fragrance notes, and considering various ingredients' olfactory characteristics and interactions. Perfumers draw inspiration from nature, cultural influences, and their creativity, resulting in many captivating scents. While the process of perfume-making may initially appear complex, the satisfaction of creating a fragrance that is uniquely yours makes it a worthwhile pursuit.

Why You Should Learn Perfume Making in NYC

Learning to make perfumes can offer individuals a range of benefits. It provides a creative outlet for self-expression, allowing individuals to explore their olfactory preferences and create unique scent compositions that reflect their style and taste. It is possible to tailor each fragrance to its recipient's preferences and personality when you make perfume for them. It is also a great way of making personalized gifts for loved ones.

Delving into perfumery opens the door to the therapeutic benefits of aromatherapy and essential oils. By incorporating essential oils into perfume blends, individuals can create custom fragrances that smell good and have specific healing properties. Each essential oil carries its therapeutic qualities, allowing for the creation of fragrances that promote relaxation, uplift the mood, or alleviate stress. In New York City, you can easily grow various botanicals you can turn into essential oils. 

Perfumery has a long-standing tradition dating back to ancient civilizations. Learning perfumery provides an opportunity to connect with the art's rich history and cultural significance.

Perfume creation is a skill that combines creativity, chemistry, and market awareness, making it a valuable asset in the fragrance industry. Chemist employment will increase by 6% nationwide by 2031.
