We cover all areas of perfumery studies: olfaction (aka study of each raw material), how to sniff, perfume history, technical and lab skills, and - most importantly: composition.
The program is flexible and spans over the course of 4 years, in which you will attend bi-annual week long sessions at Ayala Moriel Parfums studio in Vancouver, every fall and spring (usually the 3rd week of September/ 1st week of October; and the 2nd week of May.

Perfume Course on Groupon!

Your dream of studying perfumery can come true with much less effort now with this very unusual offer on Groupon: my natural perfumery course week-long intensive at the studio in Vancouver for only $900 (instead of the original price = $1800).
The course includes the course handbook and all equipment and materials used throughout the week.

Please note that although this offer is in Groupon Vancouver - even if you don't live in Vancouver, you can still enjoy this unusual promotion!

I've decided to do this offer because I know most of my students come from out of town (and even more of them are from out of the country!) and traveling is not cheap. I hope this offer will open the door to new students and that they will have a fantastic time in the course and will come back to complete their studies in the consecutive courses I offer throughout the year.

In 2012 there are sessions in January, May and September. The voucher is valid for one year, so you can redeem it for any of the intensive weeks offered in 2012.

Check out Groupon's Daily Deal in Vancouver starting at midnight (Wednesday, October 12th and running for 48 hours only). For those of you who've been always dreaming of coming to my studio for perfume making workshops - your moment has arrived!!!

The other part of this offer is my new series of interactive lectures under the general title "Introduction to Natural Perfumery" - each month, a special theme that is relevant to the season will be featured, and each one is a unique experience - some feature tea and chocolate tasting sessions, and others will answer many questions you've been too shy to ask, such as how to use perfume to attract a lover - or even how it can be used to communicate with spirits of the dead (especially useful for Halloween ;-), and will learn about the history of perfumes and the spice trade all the while sniffing the most prized perfumes and raw materials from around the world. For more details about each month's special featured lecture, look in our newly updated calendar for 2011/2012!

Vancouverites are not the only ones who should check out this feature - if you're from out of town and planning a trip to British Columbia in the next 12 months, you may want to take advantage of this unique opportunity!
