Regulatory News:
IFF (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext Paris: IFF) (TASE: IFF), a leading
innovator of taste, scent and nutrition, named Franc Schiet Master
Perfumer. The Company’s designation recognizes perfumers who have
demonstrated consistent and outstanding levels of creativity and
craftsmanship in the art of perfumery, and exceptional leadership
in and measurable impact on the industry. Mr. Schiet, IFF’s sixth
Master Perfumer, has crafted an extensive career that encompasses
success within fabric care, hair care, personal care and fine
fragrances.
“IFF is a collective of unconventional thinkers committed to
creating differentiated experiences,” said Andreas Fibig, Chairman
& CEO, IFF. “Within our walls we look to empower creators so
they can take their passion to scale and transform our industry. We
are proud of Franc and all that he’s accomplished during his time
with us – and we look forward to the many innovations ahead of
him.”
Mr. Schiet comes from a family deeply committed to the fragrance
and flavors industry. His great- grandfather owned a lemonade
factory in Amsterdam and his father was also a champion flavor
creator. However, even as a teenager, the younger Mr. Schiet knew
he would become a perfumer.
“For me, the purpose of a perfumer is to create a scent that
makes an impression,” said Mr. Schiet. “Have I made a difference in
another’s life? I hope so. I believe a perfumer is an innovator and
with talent and discipline can formulate fragrances and aromas in a
multitude of new ways. That’s what I’ve focused on throughout my
career and I am thankful for the ability and opportunity to touch
the lives of so many.”
Mr. Schiet started at IFF in 1987 in R&D and learned from
fragrance legends such as Sophia Grojsman and IFF Master Perfumer
Carlos Benaim while still evolving his craft. Over the years, Mr.
Schiet has developed or co-developed scents for shampoos, shower
gels, liquid detergents and more. Notably, he is known for
developing one of the first globally marketed fragrances for a
shampoo. Mr. Schiet has worked in both EAME and the U.S. and is a
true believer in art and technology. During his three-decade
career, he has written numerous science-related papers on fragrance
and either authored or co-authored more than 15 patents, including
two new aroma chemical structures that have been
commercialized.
“Having Franc at IFF has strengthened our Scent division, both
internally and externally,” said Nicolas Mirzayantz, Scent Division
President, IFF. “He has the ability to not only create, but to
teach and to share among peers, mentees and the industry at-large.
His contributions are boundless, even as they are rooted in the
very essence of perfumery. We are pleased to name him as IFF’s
newest Master Perfumer and celebrate his uncommon contributions to
our uncommon world of scent creation.”
