🚫 Stop Using AI to Learn Perfumery!
Look, I love a helpful robot as much as the next person.
But when it comes to perfumery — a craft rooted in creativity, and real-world nose work — AI just doesn’t cut it.
You can’t Google your way to a great blend.
You can’t prompt your way to a signature scent.
Why?
Because AI doesn’t have a nose. It’s never spilled a blend. Never ruined a base. Never cried over a bad batch and then nailed it on the next try.
I have.
And that’s exactly why I teach it.
Yes, AI is clever.
But it can’t smell a thing.
And it sure as hell can’t teach you the real craft of perfumery.
Here’s the thing:
🧪 AI doesn’t understand the feel of a blend going wrong
💀 It doesn’t know the terror of overdosing civet
⏳ It hasn’t spent 27 years testing, teaching, and tweaking real formulas for real people
You need an expert. A human one.
Someone who’s been through the trial and error, the weird reactions, the dodgy suppliers, the “why does this smell like hamster cage?” disasters — and come out the other side with formulas that work.
This course isn’t about regurgitating random online info.
It’s about teaching you the right foundations — the kind that set you up to create safe, stable, stunning perfumes from scratch.
So put down the chatbot.
Pick up a pipette.
And learn the real way — from someone who’s lived it, blended it, bottled it, and taught it to hundreds of scent-obsessed souls just like you.

I loved every minute of it! She knows her stuff, funny, direct, and not a single minute was a waste. Melanie has such an incredible presence that you don't feel the time passing. Most importantly, she gives a lot of great tips, especially for a beginner like myself.

💁♀️ Who Is This Course For?
This course is for the curious, the creative, and the slightly obsessive sniffers of things.
It’s for you if:
🧴 You hoard perfumes like they’re going extinct — but secretly dream of making your own
🧪 You want to do it properly — with scales, formulas, and a bit of fragrant flair
🧠 You love learning (but don’t fancy wading through 300-page, text heavy books or being patronised by snobby noses)
💡 You’re a hobbyist who wants to go from “I dabble” to “I blend with intent”
💼 You’re toying with the idea of turning your passion into a business — or at least impressing people at dinner parties with phrases like “aldehydic sparkle”
Not for:
❌ Anyone looking for quick-fix “magic recipes” or pre-made blends. This course teaches you how to think and work like a real perfumer.
❌ Those who hate following instructions (precision is sexy in perfumery)
❌ People who believe coffee beans reset your nose (they don’t — and we’ll tell you why)
Whether you’re here for business or pleasure — this is your invitation to stop lurking on perfumery forums and start creating your own signature scent.
🧴 Learn the Art of Scent — Without the Snobbery
If you’ve got curiosity, a nose, and a tiny bit of space on your kitchen table — you’ve got everything you need to begin.
“She knows her stuff — funny, direct, and not a single minute was a waste.”
So you want to learn perfumery, but something’s holding you back?
Oh, trust me — I’ve been there. More than once.
😩 I feel your fear
Maybe you’re thinking:
“I’m not creative enough. I wouldn’t even know where to start.”
“I’ve seen perfumery kits… they cost a fortune!”
“It all sounds so scientific — and I failed chemistry.”
“What if I make a total mess of it?”
“I don’t have time for a full course right now.”
“Everyone online seems to already know what they’re doing.”
Here’s the truth: every perfumer — even the fancy ones — started somewhere.
And most of them started in total confusion with a notebook full of question marks and a nose full of regrets.
That’s why I created this beginner’s course:
To give you a clear, fun, affordable way to start your fragrance journey without feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like you’ve joined a secret club you weren’t invited to.
No jargon overload. No elitist nonsense. No gatekeeping.
No copy-paste formulas here. I teach you how to think like a real perfumer — with structure, intuition, and confidence.
👂 Sound Familiar?
🌟 What You’ll Gain (Besides a Bloody Good Nose)
By the end of this course, you won’t just be smelling things… you’ll be understanding them.
Here’s what’s coming your way:
👃 Confidence in Your Nose
Learn how to trust your sniffer and describe scents like a pro (even the weird ones that smell like damp socks but in a good way).
🧠 Foundations That Make Sense
From top notes to base notes — you’ll finally understand what they mean, how they work, and how to use them to create balance and beauty.
🧪 Real, Practical Skills
You’ll learn proper techniques using real perfumery tools — scales, pipettes, formulas, and all. No guesswork, no “just wing it” nonsense.
🎨 Creative Freedom
You’ll be able to express your personality through scent — crafting fragrances that are bold, delicate, weird, sexy, or all of the above.
📒 Downloadable Workbooks & Notes
No frantic scribbling — everything’s laid out in gorgeous guides you can keep forever (and pretend you wrote yourself, I won’t tell).
