Kourtisanes Fragrances Perfume Academy Hosts Inaugural Training Course in Pingtan: "A Captivating Scent Meets the Misty Shores

[Pingtan, China] — The art of fragrance is a language that brings memories and emotions to life. In December 2025,  Kourtisanes Perfume Academy successfully launched its first-ever perfumery training course, themed "Captivating Scent Meets the Misty Shores of Pingtan." This immersive event brought together fragrance enthusiasts for a deep exploration of the world of scent.

The course was designed to guide participants from foundational knowledge to hands-on creation, offering a comprehensive journey into the art and science of perfumery. Here's a look back at the three key modules that made this experience unforgettable:

1. Perfume Fundamentals: Building a Professional "Fragrance Framework"

The journey began with the essentials. Participants explored:

The origins and historical evolution of perfume

The logic and structure of the fragrance wheel

The differences between natural and synthetic ingredients

The classification of perfume concentrations (EDC, EDT, EDP, Parfum)

Complex technical knowledge was broken down into easy-to-understand concepts, providing a solid foundation for the days ahead.

2. The Art of Smelling: Awakening the Senses

"Smelling is not simply about recognizing a scent—it's about learning to distinguish, memorize, and associate." In this sensory module, participants engaged with over 30 classic fragrance materials, spanning citrus, floral, woody, aquatic, and other major olfactive families. It was a true awakening of the olfactory palette, teaching attendees how to read and interpret the language of fragrance.

3. Hands-On Perfumery: Crafting a Signature Scent

The highlight of the course was the hands-on creation session. Participants transformed from learners into creators as they worked at the perfumer's organ, freely combining ingredients to bring their unique visions to life.

Each attendee completed their own custom fragrance—a bottle that became a personal "memory of this encounter." The mentors praised the creativity, passion, and learning outcomes demonstrated by every participant.

A Memorable Conclusion

The course concluded with a graduation ceremony, where participants received their certificates from the Kourtisanes Perfume Academy. Smiles of accomplishment filled the room as each new perfumer took their first step into the world of fragrance creation.

This training was more than just an educational event—it was a journey of the senses, a meeting of hearts, and the planting of a seed for future fragrance dreams.

Kourtisanes Perfume Academy remains committed to sharing the art of perfumery and nurturing the next generation of fragrance creators. Stay tuned for more courses and events.
