Become a nez for a day! 

Discover the genesis of a perfume, with our scent expert Hélène Harvey, all in French!  

In the first part, you will learn how a perfume is created and how to discern the olfactive elements of a scent. 

In the second part, you will be given the opportunity to use your imagination and creativity.  Working with scent samples, you will decide on your perfect mix. You could draw your own bottle, chose a name, imagine which celebrity would be the face of your creation. Finally you will work on your French skills, and explain what your marketing plan will be, all in French! 

Please note no actual perfume is going to be made. We are working with scent samples.
