Certified Perfumer's Success Stories
It is a great pleasure to celebrate the second anniversary of the IPF Natural Perfumery Teacher's Academy Courses. These Academy courses are a true success story for many reasons, but the most important one is seeing natural perfumers building successful businesses. For all teachers of the Academy, it is the most beautiful reward and the response we anticipated when we decided to begin this project.
In this article, we will share why the Academy is so dear to us and give examples of our natural perfumers' success stories.
The Natural Perfumery Teachers Academy Courses started with only three courses in 2021; we are the most significant natural perfumery learning academy led by 11 teachers, with 7 courses and 30 masterclasses today, increasing the number of masterclasses monthly. The idea is to respond to all needs and questions from our students, teaching them natural perfumery and leading them to create not only their perfumes, scented products, and brands and guiding them to very successful businesses.
The Need for Natural Perfumery Education
In teaching Olfaction Training and Aromatherapy it is valuable for perfumers to understand the importance of the olfactory sense and the beneficial power of nature. It is also essential to re-educate perfumers who have completely forgotten the real meaning of perfume. Most perfumers working in a laboratory today are chemists and have little knowledge of botanicals. Unfortunately, this natural know-how is on the verge of completely disappearing.
Most natural perfumery schools need to improve, and teaching drop counting instead of weighing does not make professional perfumers. Some of these schools were losing their students along the way as their courses were either 9 or 10 months in length (much too long), or there were only workshops. None of them had aromatherapy or olfaction training in their curricula.
The IPF Natural Perfumery Teacher's Academy Courses fill this gap by covering everything from scent formulating to marketing and branding your perfumes. One thing that sets the Academy apart from other perfume schools is its focus on sustainability. Natural Perfumers should use only ethically sourced ingredients, and the Academy teaches perfumers how to create environmentally friendly perfumes. This commitment to sustainability has helped the Academy attract perfumers and aromatherapists who are passionate about creating fragrances that are beautiful, natural and responsible.
We are proud to share knowledge and help perfumers gain skills worldwide thanks to our home-learning experience. Via email and zoom meetups, we always stay close to our perfumers to help them grow their passion.
