The Perfumer’s Notebook

A NICHE PERFUME BLOG BY WALES PERFUMERY

Welcome to The Perfumer’s Notebook. Wales Perfumery’s niche perfume blog, written by perfumer Louise Smith from her lab in Monmouthshire. Here you’ll find fragrance guides, perfumer’s notes, the stories behind our scents, Wales Perfumery news and events, and an honest exploration of the world of niche perfume.

Whether you’re new to artisan fragrance or a lifelong collector, pull up a chair. There’s always something worth exploring.

Ever wondered what it’s really like to learn to make perfume? This is where we pull back the curtain. From what happens inside a fragrance workshop to the techniques professional perfumers use to build a scent from scratch, these posts take you behind the bench and into the creative process.

Whether you’re thinking about booking a workshop, curious about what a day in our Monmouthshire lab looks like, or simply want to understand more about the craft before you dive in, you’re in the right place. Written by perfumer Louise Smith, these guides are honest, practical, and rooted in real experience.
