What inspires a career as a perfumer?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sandrine Malin is a Senior Perfumer at IFF based in Paris who finds inspiration in the world of fashion as well as her olfactive memory for her work within the beauty care category. The fragrances she creates for shampoos shower gels and other products transform everyday moments for consumers and contribute to award-winning successful brands.
\nRecently she met with students in the\u00a0IFF\/ISIPCA Master of Science in Scent Design and Creation program<\/a>\u00a0to share her path to becoming a perfumer and applying her creativity to this product category.<\/p>\n

Sandrine:<\/strong> \u201cMy family is originally from the south of France and my grandfather made his living working with \u2018fleur d\u2019oranger\u2019. As he owned land that was not yet cultivated he was encouraged to plant \u2018Bigaradiers\u2019 (Bitter Orange trees). I participated in the picking the flowers when I was young. I was curious and wanted to learn all about these flowers.<\/p>\n

One day my mother took me to the cooperative where these flowers were placed on sheets to be distilled. I was so taken by these mountains of intoxicating white Flowers! That was how I discovered the world of perfume and the profession of being a perfumer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"orange<\/p>\n

Sandrine spoke of other sources of her inspirationwhich fuel her creativity: \u201cThe world of fashion and design inspire me through the use of colors motifs and how they work with fabric. Working specifically on creating shampoos I am equally inspired by hair stylists colorists and those who create new looks and hair fashion. But my greatest source of inspiration is travel. Every time I visit a country or place I benefit from what I discover \u2013 smelling and getting to know local plants and flowers.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The students and Sandrine also discussed possible directions for the perfumery of the future.<\/p>\n
