IFF (International Flavors & Fragrances) and ISIPCA, the globally renowned French institution dedicated to perfumery, cosmetics, and flavor sciences, recently marked the 10th anniversary of their Master’s program in Scent Design & Creation.
Since its launch in 2016, the IFF ISIPCA program has trained more than 180 professionals from 40 countries, with 130 graduates to date, and a 100% job landing rate up to six months after graduation.
“Over the past decade, IFF ISIPCA has built a strong pipeline of diverse, high-potential fragrance experts, combining creative excellence, scientific expertise and a global perspective,” says Valery Claude, program sponsor and senior vice president of digital for IFF Scent. “The future looks bright with the next generation of scent talent who are poised to drive innovation across the industry.”
The IFF ISIPCA graduate program offers a point of entry for careers in the fragrance industry. The program prepares students for roles across fragrance development, marketing, sales and perfumery creation, helping build the future of fragrance.
The accredited program selects candidates based on olfactory ability, academic strength and individual talent — without requiring a scientific background — bringing greater diversity of perspectives to fragrance creation.
“The program trains profiles that combine creativity, olfactory culture and technical expertise,” says Nicholas Salado, general director, ISIPCA. “It supports talents that are now fully integrated into the industry, aligned with its evolving challenges and dynamics.”
