IFF (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext Paris:IFF) (TASE:IFF), a leading innovator of taste, scent, and nutrition & ingredients, and ISIPCA, a prestigious higher education institution in the field of perfume, cosmetics, and flavoring, today celebrate the first Master of Scent Design and Creation graduating class of their collaborative program, established in 2016.

“This is an historic day with many reasons to celebrate,” said Nicolas Mirzayantz, Scent Division CEO, IFF. “This is the first Masters of Scent Design & Creation graduating class from the first collaboration of its kind in the industry. We are thrilled at the sheer quality and passion of the well-trained and talented class, who are poised and ready to contribute to the world of fragrance. And we are happy to see such a diverse and inclusive group, reflecting the consumers for whom they will create.”

The three-year program, based in Versailles, France, offers students a strong foundation in the art of perfumery, including an industry-leading study of 800 raw materials. It also comprises opportunities for IFF internships, a mentorship program with senior perfumers, marketing, storytelling and soft skills courses, a study of accords and the history of perfumery, and many other topics to prepare students for a career in scent.

Valery Claude, Vice President, Creation, Innovation and Design, Global Fragrance, IFF, and the leader of the program said, “When we partnered with ISIPCA to launch the Masters of Scent Design and Creation three years ago, it was our goal to design a curriculum that leads the industry in terms of depth and breadth of our offerings to ensure a pipeline of talent for the future. While mentorship and knowledge-sharing is powerfully within the IFF culture, it is very gratifying to be able to extend this practice to our students.”

“ISIPCA greatly appreciates the value of its partnership with IFF, leading to this first graduating class. This high-quality program will enable our graduates to challenge the future in an innovative industry. We are expecting they will expand our wide International Alumni Network around the world.
