“The workshop equipped the students with the information needed on perfume industry and boosted their awareness of the scientific materials they are studying in their biochemistry course.”

Present were biochemistry students at the College of Humanities and Sciences, along with their fellows at the College of Engineering and the College of Mass Communication.   

The Office of Hostel - Female Residence, at the AU Deanship of Student Affairs has, meanwhile, organized a training session on the relationship and interaction between body chemistry and perfumes.

The workshop, themed: ‘Your perfume, your personality’ was delivered by Ms. Amal Al Harbi, Owner and Manager of the Fooqa Boutique.
