HOW TO MAKE PERFUME // Full perfumery course (2024)?

Making perfume is like creating your own special flavor for your body, just like when you mix fruit juices to make something new and fun.

Imagine you have a box full of different smells, like the ones from your favorite snacks or toys. Each smell comes from little things called notes, some are strong and bright (like lemon), others are soft and cozy (like chocolate).

How it works

  1. You pick your top notes, which are the first smells you notice, like the scent of a freshly opened candy.
  2. Then come the middle notes, which stay with you longer, think of them like the taste of your favorite snack after you've had a few bites.
  3. Finally, there are the base notes, which stick around all day, like the warm smell of your blanket on a cold night.

You mix these together in special containers and let them sit for a while, just like how cookies need to rest before they're ready to eat. Then you put them into little bottles, and voilà, it's your very own perfume!
