The fragrance industry is much bigger than perfumers and perfume counters.
People work in fragrance marketing, branding, social media, e-commerce, retail, sales, product development, packaging, photography, customer experience and content creation.
There are also specialized careers in fragrance formulation, evaluation, testing and raw materials.
If the industry interests you, start studying more than the scent itself.
Notice how fragrances are grouped, how brands describe notes, how packaging changes your expectations, which scents attract different customers and how people talk about fragrance online.
Fragrance combines creativity, science, business and psychology—which means there are many ways to build a career around it.
