Course Testimonials

"Fragrance Application course conducted by Robert Fuller has had a profound impact on evaluating fragrance performance of my products. As I work on hair care products that deliver color benefits, I was able to communicate to my group that with every change we make to the color of the bulk to enhance deposit we would in fact also be changing the way the fragrance is perceived. This is because color has an impact on olfactive sensory. I was even able to partake in a fragrance training where I am a member of a core team of employees who can pinpoint minute changes in olfactive notes." (May 2019)
