About This Class
Every great perfume begins with an idea.
Frag Head Day 3 is the culmination of the Frag Head program, where you'll apply everything you've learned to create a fragrance that reflects your own story, emotion, and creative vision.
You'll learn how professional perfumers develop fragrance briefs, define creative direction, refine formulas, and transform inspiration into a finished perfume. By the end of the class, you'll bottle your own signature fragrance and complete the creative journey from concept to presentation.
This class can be taken independently, though Day 1 and Day 2 are recommended for the most complete learning experience.
