Make Your Own Perfume Course

We have been drooling over some of the wonderful products included in the Making Perfume: An Adventure Trail home study programme.

The amber resin is so lovely that I keep smelling the back of my hands where I rubbed a little of the crystalised pieces. We have some infusing in jojoba oil in our workshops and Cathy keeps undoing the lid so she can have a little 'snort' .......mmmm quite delicious!

Writing the course has made me 'hungry' for scents and I'm delighted that today I've satisfied my desire with a perfume that starts with the top notes of aldehyde, peach and leafy greens with a subtle hint of neroli. Just as your nose adjusts to this fizzy explosion, the sensuous middle notes unravel and burst into life with an uproar of sweet jam-like rose, sugary fresh jasmine and tuberose. Ylang ylang makes a subtle lazy appearance quickly followed by a glorious full bodied musky finish.

If you want to know what perfume I'm wearing, and how to make a similar one yourself, all is revealed in the course!
