Melanie Jane

"I wanted to put everything I've learned in the last 25 years into one course. It may seem like a big ask, but I eventually achieved it. It's my mission to make The Scent Academy the best online perfumery training platform. My students motivate me every day, and I want them to get the best value that money can buy. This is the first online course I developed, over a period of 18 months, and it's my most popular to date. Students, even ones that have been to a live class, tell me that taking part in this course is like being in the same room with me!"
Patrick Jones - Course author
I loved this course! I find Melanie so engaging and she makes it so easy to learn. Her sense of humour really tops it off. I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in perfumery and who likes to learn in a fun and enjoyable way by an amazing skilled lady such as Melanie.

Course questions

Do you sell the perfumery ingredients?

YES! I have a 63-piece raw materials kit called ‘La Petite Parfumerie’ which is an exclusive collaboration with The Perfumer’s Apprentice in the USA. BUY THE KIT HERE
They ship worldwide (except Africa and KSA due to restrictions) and the kit is a perfect balance of luxury and essential ingredients. With a price tag of just $280, it’s an easy decision and I don’t make any profit from it because I want to keep it affordable for my students.
However, you may wish to source your own ingredients, so I’ve provided a verified suppliers list.
I also offer advice on the right equipment you’ll need during the course with tips on how to buy them.

Will I learn enough to make my own perfumes?

You will certainly gain an excellent foundation to start. My courses are very intensive and I teach the way I would want to learn, in a very matter of fact, non waffling way. I teach you the essentials of what you need to know to start your fragrant journey and so much more You will learn more in 3 modules than you would in 3 years of self-studying on forums, blogs and reading books. If you're not sure you can try the Fragrance 101 course first.

How is it possible to learn perfumery online, isn't it better in a live setting to get the best learning experience?

My students say that the online course is like being in the same room as me, except I won’t interrupt you when you speak! But seriously, the lectures are recorded, they are not just boring slides and workbooks, I have video tutorials as well. We work together through the course and in the section where we learn about the oils and the families I am there with you, experiencing those same oils as you while I educate you about them.

You will feel very involved and engaged. I have designed the course the way I would want to learn, and all my students absolutely love it. You will also learn a lot more than you could in a short course.
If you really want a live class then I offer non-residential 5-day courses in France. You can find out more by clicking the Corporate site link in the site footer or visit www.bymelaniejane.com

How do I access the course?

The course is right here at the Scent Academy, a structured online learning portal that gives you access to all you need for an effective learning experience.
Once you sign up, your log in details are emailed to you so you can create your own password. You will then have a dashboard which shows the courses you are enrolled on and the FRAGQUEEN community.

When does my access to the course start?

As soon as you pay you have immediate access to the content which is drip fed over 80 days.
Module 1 is available immediately.
Module 2 after 35 days.
Module 3 after 70 days.
The exam after 80 days.

How long will I have access to the course?

You will have three years access to the Diploma course, so you can take you own time, there are no deadline pressures and the course can work around your lifestyle.
Some students complete it in 12 weeks some take more than a year. I am very flexible and supportive of my student's needs, so if you need more time, I'll give you that too!

Is there a limit to the daily access?

You have 24/7 access which means you can learn at any time from anywhere in the world with absolutely no limits! The lessons require a good internet connection, but the workbooks and guides can be downloaded so you can access them offline.
Think of it like Netflix, you can rewind, fast forward, re-watch, pause, or stop and come back later!

Do you only teach about natural ingredients?

I teach mostly naturals as they are easier to understand when first approaching perfumery, but I do also educate you about natural isolates and synthetic molecules, quite a number are discussed during the course and you can use them to make some of your perfume blends.

Is there any homework?

There is one practical assignment at the end of each module. You can take your time to do this as there is no rush and you submit it through the online learning portal. Once submitted I will review it and give you constructive and helpful feedback.
I am sure with my teachings you will get it approved first time! But if you have gone a little bit awry I can help you get back on track and you may resubmit it as many time as you wish.

Is there an exam?

There is a multiple choice exam with 60 questions, the pass rate is 70%. I need to make sure that you have learnt enough and understood each module before you can gain your certificate and the exam is part of the CPD requirement.

Will I get a certificate?

A CPD Accredited Certificate is awarded upon completion of the modules and a successful exam result. You can download it directly after you've passed the easy exam. You can find out more about CPD here

Do you offer support throughout the course?

Absolutely! Unlike some other online perfume courses, you have several options for educational support:
  1. Email Support. Simply ask me what you need help with.
  2. WhatsApp Support. Send a text or voice message and I will reply in a reasonable timeframe, usually 7 days a week, as I know many students study on weekends.
  3. Course Interaction. During the course you can ask Melanie Jane a question directly from your dashboard.
Melanie delivers as an absolutely superb passionate journey into learning about Fragrance. My favourite is module three, as it made me realise my ultimate passion is aromatherapy blends. If you adore fragrance, and naturals, this is your new start to your future. Melanie certainly pushes your desires and passions to be the best at what you do. You need to be totally dedicated, trust me, it is absolutely worth it.  Thank you so much Melanie for being so super and helping me be the best version of myself. Your knowledge, passion, and understanding, is absolutely the best.
