This course is given by Andrej Babicky, ​Certified Natural Perfumer, Sustainable Raw Material Extraction and Member of The Teacher's Academy. 

Introduction and Overview of the Course:
This course was created for all those who are interested in discovering the magical world of raw materials and their extractions. Working with extracts obtained by ourselves from plants, seeds, barks allow us to know each raw material better and control the extraction process from start to finish, thus guaranteeing not only the best quality of the product but also its uniqueness. Learning to extract the delicate essence of flowers through the enfleurage technique, or of resins and roots through tinctures, enables us to enter a deep connection with nature, the raw material itself and to return to the very roots of perfumery. During the 8-module course, the various extraction techniques will be explained, how to best adapt them to our needs, how to work with the extracts thus obtained. The course is not addressed only to natural perfumers but to all those who want to deepen the subject. The course is divided into 8 modules (one module per week). During the course, it will be possible to request one to one weekly meeting to keep the course as interactive as possible.
