This course is dedicated to Floral Bouquets fragrance family, and is offered to advanced students only. This course was designed to be one of the very last in the full Foundation of Natural Perfumery training program. This is a rare opportunity to study with Ayala Moriel - a master and world-leader of modern Natural Perfumery - and truly immerse yourself in the world of perfumery from the comfort of your own home.
We will dive deep into the vast family of Floral Bouquets, with the sub-genres of Floral Fruity, Floral Fresh, Floral Powdery, Floral Green, and Floral Aldehydic. We will explore the raw materials that characterize each of these sub-genres, using only pure and natural raw materials.
Because this is an advanced course, with a lot of the raw materials studies already under your belt - the focus is truly on composition with emphasis on matching (creating "duplicates") of classic floral compositions using only natural components; and creating your own original representatives of the main types floral bouquets - Floral Green, Floral Powdery, Floral Fruity and even find a way to create an Aldehydic Floral using natural essences only!

- Pave the way to truly master the art of perfumery by being able to create all the sub-genres of the Floral Bouquets fragrance family, using only pure and natural raw materials (without using isolates).
