The certificate requires successful completion of 72 hours of classroom time. A perfect complement to the Advanced Perfumery Certificate, The Art & Business of Perfumery Certificate positions you to deepen your knowledge of the fragrance industry. This certificate offers an elevated, advanced study of the three key pillars of a successful fragrance business: 1) Analysis of the market, fragrance industry business best practices, and fragrance entrepreneurship. 2) The fragrance consumer; study of trends, preferences, and purchase drivers. 3) The artistry of the perfumer: The unsung hero of fragrance creation, an examination of the unique contributions of the perfumer. 

All courses are offered online. Prior experience is not necessary, but the courses in the Advanced Perfumery course are strongly recommended. Fragrance professionals and enthusiasts welcome. Students pursuing the certificate are recommended to purchase an olfactorium (a kit of fragrance vials) for $300 plus $60 shipping fee. Register for courses at least two weeks in advance of the start date to ensure adequate shipping time for the olfactorium.

All courses are currently offered online. Most students complete the program over three terms. Courses can be taken individually. Click on the Art & Business of Perfumery Certificate link and then click on course titles to see detailed descriptions, dates, faculty bio, materials fee, and tuition.
