Callum Ross

Fragrance educator with 15+ years' industry experience and 10,000+ students taught worldwide.

After more than 15 years in the fragrance industry and teaching over 10,000 students, I've noticed the same challenge again and again.
People love the idea of making their own perfume, but often feel overwhelmed by where to start, which ingredients to use and how to turn everything they've learned into something they've actually created.
That's why I built Perfume Coach.
To give aspiring perfume makers the personalized guidance, practical exercises and clear direction I wish every student could have.
Because learning perfumery shouldn't leave you feeling lost. It should give you the confidence to create.

What should I focus on today?
05:44 PM
Today, you’ll focus on evaluating your existing perfume, making one controlled formula adjustment, and training your nose to notice the transition from citrus to heart notes. These steps are important because your recent progress shows strong material recognition, while smoother development between stages is now the clearest path toward more balanced original fragrances.
05:45 PM
I only have five minutes today, and I’m away from my full ingredient kit. Can you update my activities without asking me to make a new blend?
05:45 PM
Absolutely! I’ll adjust today’s activities so you can smell and compare your existing perfume, record one precise balance observation, and choose the next formula change. You’ll keep progressing toward smoother compositions without needing your full kit or making a new blend.
