DO YOU LOVE PERFUME?
In Semester 1 of 2026, we will be offering a new 6-week course called: For the love of Perfume - Scents and Senses. This course will be led by Viv Tolliday at the Sydney office. It will cover the origins, history and ingredients of perfume plus the tales of some of its famous wearers and bottle designers such as Lalique. When Marilyn Monroe was asked what she wore to bed, her classic response was: "Why, Chanel No. 5 of course!".
