Aroma Class Club, the club for people with a nose
Aroma Class Club is a club for fragrance and scent lovers, where you share what you smell and learn to recognize the materials behind it. You don't need to work in perfume: all it takes is the wish to smell better.
What is Aroma Class Club?
Aroma Class Club is the club for people with a nose: a social network for fragrance and scent lovers, in English and in French. Members talk about what they smell, from a morning bergamot to the smell of a church in winter, practice recognizing materials and learn together how to put words to a scent. The club is for people who love perfume without making it their job.
What do members do at the club?
At the club, you share, compare and learn. Tell everyone about a smell that stopped you in the street, ask for the name of the note that intrigues you in your perfume, try to guess the materials on a blotter. Answers come from other members, from the Classes and from the note pages, with sources whenever a claim needs one.
What are the four spaces of the club?
- The Feed gathers members' posts: a photo of a material or a mood, a short text, notes as tags, then the comments.
- The Circles bring members together by theme, from florals and bouquets to everyday smells, including the Welcome to the Club circle where everyone introduces themselves.
- The Classes are the club's magazine: long, sourced lessons such as the seven fragrance families or training your nose.
- The Notes give one page per material, from bergamot to vetiver, each filed in one of the seven fragrance families of the French perfumers' society classification, from citrus to leathers.
What is the club charter?
The club charter comes down to seven house rules, the same for every member.
- Talk about what you smell: a material, an accord, a mood, a memory, a question.
- Source what you claim: a date, a figure or a historical fact comes with a source anyone can open.
- No product reviews and no promotion: a perfume is named for what its house or a public source says about it, with no rating and no sales pitch.
- No health advice: no essential oils to apply, no dosages, no therapeutic claims. A skin reaction is a question for a doctor or a pharmacist.
- Kindness first: answer the way you would like to be answered.
- Never mock a beginner's nose: every question is a good one, especially the first.
- No photos of people: the club shows materials, flowers, bottles and places.
