The perfume makers

Vibrant pink flower with soft petals painting

How important is what we do in life?

Everything around us is made by someone. However, we don´t really think how things are made.  We just use things when we need them. Despite of this, all of us have a job, a duty, something we do, something we are responsible of.

Doctors, cooks, cleaners, scientists, musicians, perfumers, we all are makers. What do you make? What do you do? Whatever you do, do it with passion because your work is important for someone.

In that sense, we have decided to share our expertise and our knowledge with you. The perfumes production has always been a mystery. How perfumers get scents that enchant people, how a fragrance can last for hours even days, etc.

“Odors have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions, or will. The persuasive power of an odor cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it.” ? Patrick Süskind, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer – . This quote represents well what perfumery means to us.

Eleven years ago Eurofragance launched a Perfumery Academy dedicated to share our experience and train the olfactory capability of our clients and distributors. At the same time, this academy has been internally working to identify talent and to specialize our perfumers.

An open and creative mind always finds the best solutions and products so we want to promote creativity and multiculturalism as a way to think, a way to live. Our perfumers come from different countries, have travelled all around the world, get inspiration from different places, different music, different feelings. They are an amazing team that works with passion and creativity in order to get fragrances that captivate our clients and their publics. Scents made to create wellness, happiness and success.

“Sharing is caring” and that is why we are working on intimate interviews with our perfumers so you can learn how a perfume is created, the raw materials that are used, where the inspiration comes from, and what are the favourite scents of the experts.

We will also show you how you can capture sensations, feelings, emotions, moments through scents creation.

Welcome to an exciting journey into the secrets of perfumery. Welcome to our world!
