Perfumer / fragrance designer

Perfumers create fragrances, composing scents from hundreds of ingredients. The work involves designing and developing fragrances, selecting and blending aromatic materials, refining compositions through countless trials, and creating scents that evoke and please, combining a trained nose with deep knowledge of materials.

They work for fragrance houses and brands. The role suits exceptionally talented, patient, scientifically and artistically gifted people with a highly trained sense of smell who can compose complex fragrances from memory and skill, master vast palettes of materials, and combine the artistry of scent creation with the technical mastery that perfumery, one of the rarest crafts, demands.
