Mandy Aftel workbook

[Guest guest]

I have been trying to decide if I want to invest in the Level 1 perfume workbook

that Mandy

Aftel sells on her site. In her description, it sounds like a book for true

beginners who

have little or no experience blending essential oils and who are not familiar

with individual

oils. I am not sure if the information offered would be new to me or not. I

already have a

pretty good knowledge base on these types of things but there is always more to

learn so

I'm not sure! Can anyone give me a more detailed description of the workbook?

I would

very much appreciate it! Thanks so much!

Hi ,

I have completed The Level 1 workbook by Mandy Aftel. I came from

an aromatherapy background and was familiar with many oils and

blending for therapeutic purposes. I loved Mandy's workbook and

felt that I began to think as a perfumer. I also know others who

have had quite a bit of experience with blending natural perfumes

who nevertheless felt that they had gained new knowledge from the

workbook. You receive a basic kit of oils with the workbook and you

have in addition to the " book learning " , quided prectical

assignments. If you also have your own oils you will be able to use

them too. There are plenty of additional pages to work through and

record your own blends. The basics are all there; the process of

organoleptic testing; creating top, middle, and base chords;

blending horizontal and vertical chords; looking at accessory notes;

looking at problems and faults. The workbook is clear and fun to

read. I went on and applied for Mandy's Level II course and just

finished it. That was very terrific and one of the most valuable

experiences that I could have had. Good luck and I hope this

information helps.
