Immersing in Ancestral Craftsmanship
Accompanied by experts, our Bachelor 1 students visited the workshops and laboratories of Fragonard and Galimard, where renowned fragrances come to life. Through technical and historical presentations, they learned about the essential steps in the creation of a perfume—from selecting raw materials to the final assembly of olfactory accords.
They were introduced to the different categories of fragrance notes:
- Top notes: Light and volatile, these create the first impression of a perfume.
- Heart notes: Richer and more complex, these form the core of the fragrance.
- Base notes: Deep and long-lasting, these provide the lingering signature of the scent.
Students also gained insight into the pivotal role of the “nose,” the perfume creator, whose talent lies in harmonizing these notes to craft a unique and memorable fragrance.
Exploring Modern and Timeless Fragrances
Our Nice campus students then explored the boutiques of Fragonard and Galimard, real temples of scents where tradition meets modernity. They discovered an extensive range of fragrances, from iconic creations to contemporary innovations beloved by perfume enthusiasts.
Each student had the chance to test and experience the subtleties of these compositions, enriching their olfactory knowledge.
Beyond fragrances, the boutiques also showcased a selection of cosmetics, scented creams, and other products, giving EIDM Nice students the opportunity to discover unique items that make for original and authentic gifts while supporting local artisans.
An Educational and Sensory Experience
This visit offered students much more than a simple introduction to the world of perfumery. It provided them with a deeper understanding of the subtleties and complexities of the olfactory universe while sharpening their artistic sensitivity.
Through this experience, they expanded their knowledge and immersed themselves in the excellence of French craftsmanship.
