Mr. Nabil Tayyab, the Production Manager mentioned that, the students were to acquire vast knowledge on how a perfume is manufactured right from scratch until it’s a finished product.
The students were undoubtedly amazed by a huge warehouse covered at the back of the office and here they got a chance to witness every stage of production while asking a couple of questions during the warehouse session. The Production manager lectured them into details of perfume production right from the laboratory where blending and storage of fragrance oils is done. Here students were able to smell some of the oils and were shown samples of products manufactured from respective oils. The next session Involved a practical production process right from the filling machines till the packaging and here a few products were sampled throughout the whole process which gave the students an accurate idea of perfume production.
The visit ended with a session of students sampling various finished products like Scented wipes, Soy scented candles, Interior diffusers and perfumes from popular collections including Oud Al Doha, Suhop and Ambassador Collections. Mr. Elie advised students who want to join the perfume business in their future that “every stage of production should be critically handled with equally same attention and effort in order to have perfect results, because the perfume market is more focused on quality as first priority”.
