The Perfumer's Workbook ^Ó1998

The Perfumer's Workbook is a formula writing program aimed at the professional perfumer, flavourist or trainee. It enables you to keep thousands of formulas in a compact easy to search version with lots of easy to use tools to help the professional or even complete beginner create better perfumes in less time.

"Young Lad ! It takes seven years to become a perfumer, and after that you become a good perfumer or a bad perfumer." This was the admonishment to me as a young apprentice in the early 70's from Bert Abadi as he sat talking with my boss, Ken Burrows. Between them was over a hundred years of experience in the perfume business. How times have changed !, within one hour of running The Perfumer's Workbook you can write your first perfume or flavour formula even if you've never even seen an essential oil or aroma chemical in your life !
With our perfumery supplies too you can now create and produce your own unique perfume for yourself or your products (e.g. candles, cosmetics or toiletries)

Some of the main features include;

• Raw material database with odour, synonyms, suppliers, etc.
• Perfume and flavour formula composition
• Visual display of odour characteristics
• Relative odour strength and life of materials
• Performance/stability in common applications
• Formulations can be opened on MS Excel, MSWord or NotePad

Warning
If you thought all programs were the same. You are in for a surprise. I guarantee it's nothing like your program at work. This is really designed for you to use on your home machine and for long term reference and archiving of formulas. You will find the program a little complex at first but follow the Quick Start Tour (Press F1 and then type Quick Start Tour) and you will be writing formulas quicker than you can say "Hydroxycitronellal". Read the readme file pwreadme.txt for the latest installation information. If you are unable to download the program please contact us.
