2026 Cohort · Now enrolling · September – February
Enroll in the 2026 cohort.
Six months of live sessions, 40 materials, and a curriculum that starts in Assyria and arrives at your bathroom cabinet. Here's how tuition works — and about the welcome gift mailed to the first 30 enrollees.
§ 01 · Tuition
One rate. Two ways to pay.
Payment plans are the default — four monthly payments at no extra cost. Or pay in full; the total is the same either way.

First 30
A physical welcome & thank-you gift, mailed to you.
A thank-you for the first thirty enrollees of the 2026 cohort — a welcome package sent to you in the mail. No separate purchase, no upgrade; just tell me where to ship it once you're in.
A note on the materials kit. Tuition does not include the Perfumer's Apprentice kit ($107 for all 40 pre-diluted materials). You buy the kit directly from PA — this keeps costs transparent and avoids marking up supplies you can source yourself. Order early so it arrives before Session 1 (Sun Sep 13): international students by mid-August (around Aug 17 — customs is unpredictable, so sooner for slower-customs countries), US students by the end of August (around Aug 31). Honestly, the day you enroll is the safest time to order — there's no downside to having it early.

§ 03 · Payment + logistics
The practical questions.
Is there an extra charge for the payment plan?
No. Payment plan and pay-in-full are the same total — four payments of $150 equal $600 exactly. No financing fee, no interest, no discount for paying upfront. Pick whichever fits your cash flow.
When does billing start?
Your first payment is processed at enrollment. Subsequent payments run monthly on the same date. The program begins September 2026; you can enroll any time before seats fill.
Can I get a refund if I change my mind?
No — all sales are final and the program is non-refundable. Payment plans are also non-cancelable once they begin: if you enroll on the 4-month plan, you're committing to all four payments. The only exception is any mandatory cooling-off period your local law requires, which is spelled out in the enrollment agreement at checkout. This is why I'd rather you be honest with yourself about bandwidth before you enroll than regret it after — if you're unsure, email me before you sign up, not after.
Do I need to buy the kit separately? And when should I order it?
Yes. The 40-material Perfumer's Apprentice kit is $107, purchased directly from PA and shipped from their warehouse. PA ships within about two business days — the variable is transit and, for international orders, customs. To have it in hand before Session 1 on September 13: international students, order by mid-August (around Aug 17, and sooner for slower-customs countries); US students, order by the end of August (around Aug 31). If you're not sure, order the day you enroll — there's genuinely no downside to having it early.
What if I can't make a live session?
You're covered — every live session is recorded and posted to the members dashboard, so nothing is lost if life gets in the way. You also keep six months of replay access after the live cohort ends, so you can rewatch or catch up entirely on your own time.
What if I need scholarship or sliding-scale access?
Sponsorships and seat scholarships are handled separately. Email the enrollment address to start a conversation — we don't publicly publish sliding-scale rates but we do have pathways for students who need them.
