                A woman who doesn’t wear perfume has no future.

     Perfume … no less important than your clothes or shoes, it’s the finishing touch to your wardrobe, 
     adding a bit of elegance. Your perfume is an expression of your personality and can communicate 
     emotion. Studies even prove that pleasing aromas can make us more attractive to those around us. 
     Fragrance can also have an aspirational effect: Wearing perfume can inspire you to act and think like 
     the best version of yourself.  
     The majority of scents available in large retail stores are designer perfumes. Many of these mainstream 
     scents smell very nice and are relatively affordable, but they lack exclusivity and personality. Boutique 
     artisanal perfumes, sold in only a few shops, offer scents that are less common and more individual, 
     reflecting the personalities of their creators. These perfumes are created with greater attention to 
     detail, with components of the highest caliber. This category, while small, is growing in popularity and 
     offers more expensive fragrances. Tijon’s signature perfumes fall into this category.
     One giant step beyond boutique artisanal perfume is the creation of your own. Congratulations! You’re 
     about to become the perfumer, or as the industry might say, the nose. This more daring approach to 
     fragrance will allow you to try fresh fusions of scents, taking inspiration from personal experiences. 
     You’ve received this book because you’ve signed up for a perfume creation class at Tijon. Few places in 
     the world offer such a novel and rewarding experience—and it’s our hope that Your Signature Scent will 
     help you enjoy your time with us to the fullest.
