Testimonials
The course is intensive and the assessments are doable. The venue is second to none and the arrangement is perfect. I started the course knowing only three aromas: smoky, woody, and vanilla. I ended up even making the smoky peat aroma disappear. A miracle!!!

Excellent, knowledgeable course with lots of useful content. Great day I learned a lot. Well run event in a superb location. Surprising how your olfactory system is not a good as you think it is until you are pointed in the right direction by experts in their field. Well worth going on the course it opened my mind to a whole range of tastes and aromas I was missing.
