Inside development

  1. Evaluation in Fragrance-House Development

    How evaluation works in large fragrance-house development: the evaluator's role, submissions, briefs and standards, and how perfumers work with it.

    45 min · Exercise: Act as your own evaluation department

  2. Supplier Qualification and Raw-Material Specifications

    Qualify a raw-material supplier: write a specification, check certificates against it, evaluate first batches against a standard, and control later changes.

    50 min · Exercise: Qualify one material from two suppliers

  3. Formula Economics: Cost in Use

    Judge a fragrance by cost in use, not cost per kilogram: dose, fill, yield and losses, the break-even dose between two oils, and the hidden costs.

    45 min · Exercise: Compare two concentrates in use

  4. Industrial Compounding and Scale-Up

    What changes between a 100 g trial and a production batch: weighing tolerances, order of addition, mixing and temperature, and batch release.

    50 min · Exercise: Write a compounding instruction for one formula

Leading the work

  1. Confidentiality, Trade Secrets and What Protects a Formula

    Why formulas are protected mostly as trade secrets, what the EU directive and US law require, why reverse engineering is lawful, and what copyright has done.

    45 min · Exercise: Audit how one of your formulas is protected

  2. Creative Leadership and the Professional Submission

    Lead creative work and present it professionally: briefing others, critique that improves work, decision logs, and building a submission dossier.

    45 min · Exercise: Lead one small creative round

  3. Mastery Capstone: An Original Fragrance Research Project

    The Academy's final project: an original research question in perfumery, answered with a design, data, analysis and a professional submission. No credential.
