TIIB, The Innovation Institute of Business

TIIB Exclusive

Perfume Brand Entrepreneur

TIIB certificate. Not a Pearson award.

The Gulf buys more fragrance per head than almost anywhere, and this is the course on how to sell into it. Scent formulation and testing, packaging, pricing, and the choice between a premium line and a volume one. It is a business course that happens to smell nice.

  • 35+ founders teach here

    People who run companies now, in the room, not teachers who ran one years ago.

  • 22+ companies take our students

    That is the network the careers team introduces students into, whatever they are studying.
