APF Level 2 Award in Perfumes

APF International Home > Qualifications > APF Level 2 Award in Perfumes

APF's Level 2 Award in Perfumes is a beginner- to intermediate-level qualification exploring perfumes, suitable for industry professionals and perfume enthusiasts.

This qualification is intended for beginners wishing to learn about a wide range of perfumes or those seeking to build on the introductory knowledge gained with the APF Level 1 Award in Perfumes. You’ll gain knowledge of the principal perfume families and historically important fragrance varieties of the 19th century till modern world, the raw fragrance materials in which they are used, and the styles of perfume they produce. Through a combination of blending and theory, you’ll explore the factors that impact style and quality and learn how to blend these perfumes and their variations with confidence.

The new Level 2 Award in Perfumes is more relevant, interactive and designed to allow our perfume consultants to immediately put in place what they learn into their daily lives and work. I learn all the stories and history of perfume creations, now I can appreciate and create perfumes just like a pro.
