A Practical Guide to Training Your Nose and Decoding Fragrance
A training method, not an appreciation guide.
Paperback · 6 x 9 in · 170 pages · first edition 2026
A step-by-step training system for learning to smell the way professional perfumers do, one exercise at a time.
Professional perfumers are not born with extraordinary noses. They build them through structured practice, not natural talent. Combining olfactory research, classical perfumery training and hands-on exercises, this book teaches you to recognise raw materials, read a perfume's structure and think the way a trained nose actually does. A real method, not just an appreciation guide.
For fragrance enthusiasts, home perfumers, curious beginners (no chemistry background required).
