What do we mean by perfume formulation?
In this theoretical class we look at the concept of top, middle and base notes within the framework and structure of the perfume pyramid, and we study the relationship and interconnection between them.
There are several ways to formulate a perfume, not just a single and correct way for everything. The art of fragrance formulation is based on having knowledge of perfume ingredients, the different olfactory families and the direction we wish to give our creation.
