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.”
