****Please log in to Pinkoi the next day after registration to check the message. We will send you class notification**** ****If you register alone, you may take classes with another registered student. If you don’t want to take classes with strangers and want one-on-one teaching, please choose double registration**** ****The purpose of our course is to enable students who do not have much experience in perfumery to create a bottle of perfume that will actually be sprayed on their body every day. Instead of simply providing raw materials, let students explore on their own. The small class teaching is designed so that teachers can lead students step by step to find the smell they want and create their own signature perfume**** ****If you have ever tried to use essential oils to make your own perfume, but you can't get the feeling of the perfume on the market, you will suddenly understand after taking this class**** ****The course lasts approximately 4 hours.**** ****Additional 3-hour perfumery course:**** https://www.pinkoi.com/product/FnkFP8CL ****The 4-hour course has more professional raw materials than the 3-hour course. It also has more time to explain the principles of fragrance mixing, and also has more time to properly mix a bottle of perfume. If you just want to simply experience mixing a bottle of perfume, just sign up for the 3-hour course. If you are very interested in perfumery and want to learn more knowledge, it is suitable to sign up for the 4-hour course. The classes will come with handouts and fragrance charts that can be taken home.**** ****If you are interested in professional fragrance and aromatherapy, you are welcome to sign up for this course. It can save a lot of time to explore on your own**** ****If you are very interested in perfume, but can't understand the violet, iris, Silver, galbanum (the main note of Chanel No. 19), oakmoss, tonka bean, and clary mouse on the fragrance list Tailweed...what does it smell like? You are also welcome to sign up for this course to ensure that next time you look at the fragrance list of a perfume, it will not be like reading from heaven**** ****This class will teach a lot of raw materials and fragrance knowledge, so please make sure you are interested in fragrance or aromatherapy before signing up!**** ****The raw materials we use are all raw materials used by real perfumers, not compound flavors with unknown ingredients!**** ****Perfumes on the market are mainly made of artificial raw materials (synthetic raw materials/monomers), and natural raw materials account for less than 30% of the ingredients (the proportion of natural raw materials is positively related to the price of perfume).**** ****For more knowledge on perfumery, please search the teacher’s blog [Daily Practice of Perfumers] (square grid)**** **Class content:** If you are interested in professional perfumery, you can't miss this course. We offer approximately**80**natural essential oils and essences, including expensive and rare professional fragrance ingredients. Such as: violet leaves, iris root, black currant, oakmoss, tonka bean, labdanum, jasmine, orange blossom, centifolia rose... We will provide an additional**30 kinds of**synthetic raw materials/monomers (raw materials such as: Hedione, Iso E Super, Ambroxan, Oud Base, Helvetolide, Damascone Beta , Calone watermelon ketone...), while explaining the differences between natural raw materials and synthetic raw materials and their fragrance effects. It is up to you to decide whether to use synthetic ingredients. The use of synthetic raw materials can achieve the lightness, transparency and brightness of commercial perfumes. The course lasts about**4 hours**, and you can personally prepare a bottle of exclusive**30ml**perfume under the leadership of the teacher. In the course, you can learn about the fragrance levels of essential oils and perfumes, and at the same time learn the knowledge and skills of perfume fragrance (not massage oil, nor aromatic candles ~ perfume is the most advanced and highest status in the field of fragrance fragrance). This saves you a lot of time spent trying to figure it out on your own. This is a professional perfumery course. The main raw materials for fragrance are expensive essential oils and essences. Students who like perfume mixing are welcome to sign up. **The fragrance resuscitation time of this course ranges from about 4 to 6 hours. Spraying it on your body can make you feel happy and relaxed. Even if you smell it for a long time, it won't make you feel dizzy or vomiting. It is also an excellent pillow perfume (Pillow Perfume) and has a very good sleep aid effect.** **Fees include:** Everyone can mix their own**30 ml**perfume (pictured) to take home. **Class process:** **1.**Taste and learn more than 100 of the most commonly used, expensive and rare ingredients, and gain an in-depth understanding of each ingredient’s background story, scent profile, aromatherapy effects, and fragrance suggestions. **2.**Start trying out the first perfume version, with your own fragrance. **3.**Try to imagine the atmosphere and mood that the perfume wants to convey, and then review your own version. **4.**Discuss with the teacher and classmates. The teacher will give professional direction and suggestions on perfume making, which will reduce the erroneous attempts of self-exploration and greatly improve the perfume making skills. **5.**Repeatedly try to correct the perfume version, and you may come up with more than 20 different versions. **6.**Finally choose a version that you are most satisfied with.

You can also sign up for the following trial courses: 【Taipei Class】 https://www.pinkoi.com/product/FnkFP8CL ========== Teacher article sharing========== **[The logic of fragrance mixing]** Jo Malone's "English Pear and Freesia" is probably the most popular perfume in Taiwan right now. It’s so popular that all kinds of fragrance products have freesia flavor, ranging from homemade perfumes from small brands, to diffuser bottles and fragrance sprays in home life stores, to shampoos and shower gels. A 100ml bottle of Jo Malone's "English Pear and Freesia" perfume costs more than NT$5,000. A bottle of "English Pear and Freesia" shower gel in the store only costs NT$200. Have you ever thought: "It's so big What’s the difference in price and taste?” You must be able to tell this! Otherwise, what is the purpose of spending so much money on genuine perfume? Generally speaking, if high-end items and affordable items are from the same series of fragrances, the scent of the high-end items will be richer and more natural, while the scent of the affordable items will be more monotonous and have a more chemical feel. So what is chemical sense? In fact, this is an adjective that is difficult to define, but relatively easy to understand. The chemical sense is actually compared with the smell of natural raw materials. Because the substances that exist in nature are themselves complex compounds, the smell is rich and varied while being relatively balanced. In contrast, synthetic raw materials/monomers have a single composition and simple smell. If you are not careful when blending fragrance, it will cause an imbalance in the smell spectrum. This imbalance is what gives the olfactory senses a chemical sensation. Another reason for the chemical feeling is that perfumers use synthetic raw materials/monomers to create smells that do not exist in nature, so that the olfactory senses cannot classify the smell based on experience, thus creating the impression of chemical feeling. Is chemical sense necessarily bad? Of course not. For those who like commercial perfumes, perfumes made with only natural raw materials may feel that they lack some lightness and transparency, and feel like the smell of a SPA shop. At this time, you only need to add some synthetic raw materials in an appropriate amount to add some "chemical sense" and make the original taste feel a little more natural. At this time, most friends will say: "That's right, it looks like a commercial perfume!" . Of course, what professional perfumers consider is not just smell. Cost is often the biggest consideration. Even if you know that you need to add a certain ingredient to upgrade the texture, you still have to give it up due to cost. Especially for daily fragrances, the cost of fragrance raw materials may be only one-tenth of that of the same type of perfume, or even less. Professional perfumers are like magicians of scent. Dozens of raw materials are originally needed to compose a fragrance. In consideration of cost, they abandon high-priced and unimportant raw materials and only use a few alternative raw materials with lower unit prices to create the same feeling. The smell makes it difficult for consumers to tell the difference at first sniff. If the cost factor is ignored, is there any logic that can be followed in perfumery? I arbitrarily divide fragrance into two structures: one is based on natural raw materials and synthetic raw materials as supplements. The other is based on synthetic raw materials and supplemented by natural raw materials. Why is it divided like this? Let's explain the thinking logic. Of course, this is just a personal interpretation, you/you can also have different approaches~ 1. Use natural raw materials as the main body and synthetic raw materials as supplements Natural raw materials account for most of the smells that ordinary people come into contact with in their daily lives. Because everyone is familiar with these smells, it is not easy to mix up weird, disgusting, dizzy and vomiting smells. But this is an advantage and a disadvantage, just like partners living under the same roof, although they don't hate each other, they also lack a little spark of love. It is very difficult to use natural raw materials to create a perfume that is light, transparent and lasts for a long time. It requires a long time of experience accumulation and experimentation. Even very experienced perfumers can only achieve a certain level by using only natural raw materials. It is almost impossible to achieve the same lightness, transparency, long-lasting fragrance and diffusion power as commercial perfumes. But in fact, as long as some synthetic raw materials are added in an appropriate amount to adjust the smell, natural perfume can also have a texture similar to commercial perfume, but without a strong "chemical feeling". It still has a natural and comfortable smell, but it has the characteristics of lightness, transparency and long-lasting fragrance. What synthetic ingredients can be added? Please refer to this article [Adding synthetic ingredients to natural perfume recipes]. Of course, these are not the only synthetic raw materials that can be added. Grassy (leaf alcohol), fruity (Beta Damascone/Rose Oxide), aldehyde (Aldehyde C-11/C-12), sweet (Vanillin/Maltol)... are all suitable. Add to. Maybe you/you are a little confused: "If you can add anything, how is this different from synthetic raw materials/single fragrances?" The first thing to do when learning about synthetic/monomeric fragrances is of course learning and smelling them. Once the raw materials are memorized, the next step is to learn to create aroma chords, which is the so-called imitation aroma. For example, the basic rose aroma can be composed of these three raw materials (please refer to [Accords]): PEA (phenylethyl alcohol) 444 CITRONELLOL (Citronellol) 333 GERANIOL (Geraniol) 222 The above raw materials do not include rose essence/essential oil. However, if we use natural raw materials as the main structure, we will not do this. We will still use rose essence as the main body, and then add various raw materials to make the roses come alive. For example: Rose geranium/enhance the scent of rose Ylang Ylang/increases the softness of roses Orange Blossom/Creates a fresh and bright feeling Lilac buds/increase layering Violet leaf/green leaf feeling and high-end feeling Wait until the main body of the rose fragrance is completed, and finally add some synthetic ingredients to adjust the smell. For example: adding Rose Oxide (rose ether) to increase the sweetness of lychee, or adding Ambrtolide (ambretto lactone) to turn it into a musk rose, or adding Aldehyde C-11/C-12 to turn it into an aldehyde-scented rose. The main structure of this kind of rose is still made of natural raw materials, but because some synthetic raw materials are added, the smell is slightly deviated from "natural" and adds some "chemical sense" and "abstract sense". Even natural believers will not feel uncomfortable if they smell the perfume created with this kind of structure. They may make them feel dizzy and vomiting. 2. Use synthetic raw materials as the main body and natural raw materials as the supplement This structure is the main way of perfumery with synthetic raw materials/monomers, mixed with synthetic raw materials/monomers/natural raw materials. However, in this structure, natural raw materials are not the protagonist, and are usually only used to adjust the smell. In many cases, the purpose of using natural ingredients is to make the overall smell rich and layered, so that the finished product does not feel too chemical. When perfume is blended this way, the aroma chords are the most important part of the entire perfume. For example, if you want to mix a bottle of "Patchouli Rose" fragrance, the first step is to determine the aroma and chords of the rose. Of course, the rose aroma and chords may also contain Damascus/Thousand-Year Rose essence, but it is definitely not the protagonist. In most fragrance chords, natural ingredients only play a harmonizing role. Because it is a "patchouli rose" scent, of course, patchouli essential oil must be added. Patchouli is an essential oil with extremely complex ingredients. So far, it has been difficult to be replaced by synthetic raw materials. Fortunately, it is not too expensive. In fact, the biggest difference between high-end perfumes and daily fragrances is the use of natural raw materials. Natural raw materials have high cost, unstable quality, and sometimes contain allergens. These are the reasons why daily fragrances are avoided.
