Perfumer’s Apprentice began in 2004 as a small workshop in a Santa Cruz loft, dedicated to teaching the art and science of perfumery. From those early days, they have grown into a trusted online source for aromatic ingredients, offering everything from natural essentials to unique synthetic fragrance components, with an emphasis on education and transparency.

Their offerings include premium natural materials like essential oils, absolutes, and attars from renowned suppliers such as John Steele Company, alongside a diverse range of synthetics for perfumers at all skill levels. For hands-on learning, they host in-person perfumery classes at their California location, where students can craft custom scents under the guidance of expert perfumers. For remote learners, their Educational Kits provide a comprehensive introduction to fragrance blending.

In 2009, they expanded with The Flavor Apprentice, offering over 250 food-safe flavorings for culinary enthusiasts and professionals. With a clear distinction between their perfumery and flavoring lines, they ensure safe and professional-grade materials for both creative pursuits.

Perfumer’s Apprentice remains dedicated to empowering both perfumers and flavorists through quality materials, educational resources, and exceptional customer service. Whether you’re exploring fragrance or flavor creation, their expertise and comprehensive product range make them an ideal partner for your creative journey.
