I make perfumes.
I work with my sister in our studio / lab / office, about a 5 minute bike ride from my house. Each day is different. Our roles include communicating with our vendors, fulfilling online orders, working on new fragrances and products, responding to press requests...
Here's the first step for professionals
Personally, I would really recommend studying perfume at a school like the one I went to. There's a lot to learn and while I thought for a while that I could be self-taught, I realized once I got to perfume school that there are a lot of technical details and that information is not widely available.
"Even once I was in perfume school, the idea that I would start my own business was really doubted. "The perfume industry works a certain way." "How will you ever make it?""
