THE PERFUMER'S LAB SETUP 101

Every good fragrance starts before the first drop hits the beaker. In this hands-on class, we'll walk through how to set up a real working perfumery lab ; whether that's a corner of your apartment or a dedicated studio. You'll learn what you actually need (and what you can skip): scales, pipettes, glassware, dilution supplies, and how to organize your materials so you can find anything in seconds. We'll cover the mistakes that cost beginners time and money — bad storage that ruins your ingredients, cross-contamination, labeling systems that fall apart, and the safety basics nobody tells you about, from ventilation to handling concentrated materials. By the end, you'll have a clear plan for your own workspace, a shopping list that fits your budget, and the habits that separate a functional lab from an expensive mess. No experience needed ; just bring your curiosity. All materials provided.
