Sylvie Fischer-Desuzinge
Fine fragrances are her speciality, but she has also learned to compose fragrances for cosmetics for luxury brands.
In a nutshell, Sylvie Fischer distinguishes herself: her mother was a perfumer-creator and Sylvie still works for the company that formed her 35 years ago, two very unusual things.
Perhaps it was the fact that she came into the world on 14 July (Bastille Day in France) that marked her destiny. Who knows? His future was mapped out and, although a career as a juvenile judge seemed attractive to him for a while, his holiday jobs were at Robertet and the IFF. After enrolling at ISIP after the baccalaureate, she had to come up with a plan B when the perfumery school stopped admitting students for three years to become ISIPCA in order to train students with a baccalaureate certificate and two years of university studies and a science diploma.
The perfumer Pierre Bourdon took her under his tutelage and trained her for a year in Takasago. Her second mentor was none other than Michel Almairac, who arrived at the company on the same day as Sylvie. "They both convinced me that I would save three years, and they were right. They taught me theory and practice. The best school there is, without a doubt. That was 1982, and Sylvie Fischer is still at Takasago.
Fine fragrances are her speciality, but she has also learned to compose fragrances for cosmetics for luxury brands. It is a demanding job, a constant challenge that requires passion and a considerable investment of time, energy and the ability to remain calm and manage the frustrations inherent in this profession she loves.
