About Us & Our Aproach
The goal of the Fragrant Signatures, a School of Natural Perfumery is to provide you with tools to immerse yourself in the world of natural fragrant materials and learn how to create your own natural perfumes. The school was designed in 2005 by Slobodanka Poštić.
Natural perfumes are not just another popular whim. People wore such perfumes till the end of the 19th century when, with the progress of organic chemistry, the first fragrant molecules were synthesized. They were cheaper and easier to produce, so they soon replaced natural fragrant materials. But today,due to the awareness that the loss of contact with nature is unhealthy, people tend to use natural materials wherever possible. This applies to perfumes as well.

Why is Natural Perfumery Important?
By wearing self-created natural perfume, one promotes their well-being and emphasizes personal biological signal.* If you want to wear a perfume that will cooperate well with your body chemistry, the task of its creation can be best performed by you, your nose and your brain.

IMPRESSIONS OF FORMER PARTICIPANTS:
"I enjoyed the education of natural perfumery. A long time ago, a topic did not inspire me so much, and Slobodanka Poštić as a top lecturer and Ana Ličina as an organizer have a lot of credit for that. I saw my kindred souls in them. I am immensely grateful to them for this wonderful experience. I will follow in their footsteps. " V. about feelings after the end of online schooling
"My knowledge of perfumes was in the range of perfume products in the store - you smell, you buy; and the question of colleagues: what perfume do you use! That I can put together the most beautiful scents, scents that are only the most beautiful to me , but it's something I didn't know existed. "
“It was super fantastic! Slobodanka is really an empress. When I got home, my husband said: "Ooo you smell! How nice you smell! Njami, what is this?" Hahahaha :) I have a box of bloters and bottles on the table here in the living room room and it seems to me that the whole room smells and lives in brškin and patchouli. In short, I can't wait for the second part! " T. on feelings after learning the notes below.
