Making Scents – Article published in St George Magazine

We have the pleasure of drawing your attention to an interesting article in St George Magazine about perfumery, perfumers, natural fragrances, ‘making scents’ and trends in home fragrances and perfumes. PAIRFUM and Huib Maat were mentioned.

If you prefer to only read the section about perfumery, then please read it here.

To whet your appetite, this is the exact introduction to the article:

THE ART OF THE PERFUMER IS A SORT OF ALCHEMY . THERE IS SOMETHING TRULY MAGICAL IN THE SKILL AND CRAFTSMANSHIP OF THE ARTIST WHO FUSES THE ESSENCE OF FLOWERS AND HERBS INTO A FRAGRANT LIQUID THAT STIRS THE SENSES AND QUICKENS THE HEART.

Anybody that would like to find out more about “how to become a perfumer”, the world of fragrances or just ‘making scents’, ISIPCA in France is always worth investigating. Here is a link:

Alternatively, the ‘Fragrance Foundation‘ also offers a good starting point for your research into ‘making scents’ of the perfumery world.
