The requirement for human resources with high competence and adequate capacity in Indonesian perfume industry will be highly sought to take an important position in it. Perfumer is a profession where someone has the skills to mix and identify ingredients in perfume. Information about the perfumer profession in Indonesia is still very limited. Simulation game is an interactive learning media by integrating experiences from the real world. The simulation game provides an overview of how one becomes a perfumer, the self-preparation that needs to be done, and deciding to join the perfume industry. Data collection was carried out with a questionnaire aimed at understanding what information people know about the perfumer profession. Interviews, observations, and literacy studies aim to explore information about the experience of the perfumer profession and the perfume making process. Existing studies and reference studies are needed as a reference to create information media for the introduction of the perfumer profession in the form of effective simulation games. According to the results of alpha and beta test the simulation game was received positively in providing information about perfume learning. To support its effectiveness, secondary media was created in the form of advertisements, social media content, and merchandise design.
