My future speciality. Perfumery and Cosmetics Products Technology

I am a second-year student of the National University for Food Technologies. I study at the Faculty of Meat and Dairy, Perfumery and Cosmetics products. My future speciality is perfumery and cosmetics products technology. The course of training of technologist takes 5 years of studying. The senior-year students are taught disciplines connected with their future qualification. These disciplines are: technology of perfumery products, control of perfumery quality, innovation technologies of perfumery production, optimization of perfumery technologies processes, technological equipment of perfumery branch, chemistry of essential oils, physical and chemical principles of perfumery and cosmetics products technology, etc. A contemporary specialist in perfumery technology should also have a good command of a foreign language to use information in foreign languages from special sources for his future career, to discuss professional problems with his colleagues from foreign countries, etc.The job of composing perfumes that will be sold is left up to an expert on perfume composition or known in the fragrance industry as the perfumer.

The composition of a perfume typically begins with a brief by the perfumer's employer or an outside customer. The customers to the perfumer or their employers, are typically fashion houses or large corporations of various industries. The perfumer will then go through the process of blending multiple perfume mixtures and sell the formulation to the customer, often with modifications of the composition of the perfume.

The perfume composition will then be either used to enhance another product as a functional fragrance (shampoos, make-up, detergents, car interiors, etc.), or marketed and sold directly to the public as a fine fragrance.
