ISIPCA


ISIPCA is a French school for post-graduate studies in perfume, cosmetics products and food flavor formulation, with an apprenticeship period in the industry. It was founded in 1970 by Jean-Jacques Guerlain as ISIP. It became Groupe ISIPCA in 1984 when the CCIV backed up and sponsored the school with significant capital.
From 2004 to 2017, ISIPCA and UVSQ had established a partnership in order to offer postgraduate programmes in perfumery, cosmetics and food flavoring.
The school is affiliated with the Osmothèque, a perfume archive that researches ancient perfumes, and reconstructs fragrances whose formulas have been lost.
The facilities are a mix of renovated ancient buildings, protected by Historic Landmark status, and contemporary architecture by parisian architects Philippe Ameller and Jacques Dubois.
