Perfumers Apprentice

A supplier of raw aromatic and flavor materials serving perfumers, flavorists, culinary professionals and product developers. The business operates two connected lines. Under the Perfumer's Apprentice name it supplies professional fragrance ingredients: pure and natural essential oils, absolutes and isolates, alongside fragrance oils, aroma chemicals and specialty blends sourced from major fragrance houses including Givaudan, Firmenich, IFF and Robertet. Under The Flavor Apprentice name it offers more than 300 professional flavor concentrates intended for a wide range of culinary flavoring applications, stocked in sizes that suit both small-scale recipe experimentation and bulk requirements. The company was started in 2004 to help perfumers of all skill and experience levels learn about and use genuinely professional fragrance components, and in 2009 it expanded by creating The Flavor Apprentice to supply flavors for culinary professionals and enthusiasts. Beyond materials supply, it sells educational kits and runs classes intended to support customers through the creative process, and maintains resource areas described on the site as the Perfumer's Corner, the Flavorist's Corner and World of Flavors. Ordering is handled through its own e-commerce storefront, with customer service operating Monday through Friday during Pacific business hours. Its stated direction is continued improvement and expansion of the flavor and fragrance ingredient range with the aim of offering premium products to its customers.
