An Announcement from AbdesSalaam Attar of La Via del Profumo:
After six years, I am returning to teaching with a summer seminar in the hills of Rimini, Italy from 10th to 15th June, 2015. There will be five days of daily classes and workshops to teach 12 students both my philosophy of perfumery and my method of making fragrances.
The classes will cover a range of issues. One key point will be natural raw materials, including animal scents and rare essences, several of which can be smelled only with me. I will explain the crucial issue of how to understand and evaluate the quality of natural raw materials.
Every day, there will be blending workshops of different methods and approaches. I will teach students how to custom blend fragrances to benefit those who may wish to expand into perfume creation for private clients, customers, or friends. I will also explain how to approach concept blending for companies. In addition, I will discuss where to source the best essences, so that those who have learned how to make perfumes with me can carry on as a perfumer.
Other topics will include perfume descriptive language, olfactory psychology, philosophy and the ethics of natural perfumery. These are fundamentally important because the nose is only secondary to the mind in making perfumes, which is before all a mental attitude.

Rimini, Italy
Rimini dates back to Roman times and is located in the Emilia-Romagna region on Italy’s Adriatic coast. It is famous for its beaches, but we will be in the nearby hills of Monte Colombo where I live. In June, the lavender will be full bloom, so there might also be a distillation course on one of the days.
All of this will be covered by an accommodation package that includes hotel stay, workshop materials, a perfume-making kit valued at 400 euros, and raw essences.
Il Germano Reale
Our accommodation is the same location of the course. It has a beautiful swimming pool, and an eagle’s view on the Adriatic Sea and the coast. Breakfast and lunch are included. Dinner can be ordered at a nearby reputed restaurant.
There are 12 places available. The course is in English.
