Perfumotherapy
Perfumotherapy online certification program
Our Perfumotherapy online program is part of International Perfume Foundation curriculum. Perfumotherapy is a discipline of merging natural aromatherapy, natural perfumery and olfaction training without synthetic substances involved.
It was created by Creezy Courtoy in 1998 to combine the art and beauty of natural perfumes and natural aromatherapy, the beneficial power of thousands of flowers and plants with the physiology of olfaction allowing each human being to reconnect with nature for healing and wellbeing.
Perfumotherapy is distinct from aromatherapy or perfumery in that it includes foundational olfaction training and does not allow any use of synthetics. It is the highest level of professionalism in perfumery and aromatherapy
Perfumotherapists have a background of natural aromatherapy, natural perfumery and natural olfaction training.
