The Société Française des Parfumeurs is now accepting applications for The International Prize of the Young Perfumer SFP 2025. The theme 2025 competition is “Olfactive and poetic cultural landscapes of lavender in Provence."
The site reads, "The lavender flower is inseparable from the Provence landscape, and it needs all our attention and protection. More than a single note, your composition will highlight the power of the lavender scent, its aromatic and floral facets, and the beauty of its region. Give free reign to your emotions and creativity as you illustrate and bring to life this emblematic plant of perfumery."
Each perfume candidate must be submitted by a perfumer under age 35 (born January 1, 1990), of any nationality, living in France or other countries, and does not necessarily have to be a member of SFP.
The candidates should submit or send their submissions to the SFP secretary no later than the 10th of January 2025, the postmark serving as official date.
The prize will be given during the SIMPPAR Exhibition, on June 4-5, 2025.
The winner retains ownership of his/her fragrance and formula and may use it professionally with the title: The International Prize of the Young Perfumer SFP 2025 (PRIX INTERNATIONAL DU JEUNE PARFUMEUR SFP 2025).
