Symrise Opens Perfumery School in India

Symrise opened its first perfumery school outside its headquarters in Holzminden, Germany, and its first in India.

India represents one of the fastest-growing markets for Symrise, which reported a nine-month turnover of $1.6 billion in local currency, according to reports. The Symrise fragrance business in India has been growing in the high double digits over the past few years.

The academy, which includes a special area with more than 900 bottled compounds and a library, will house these “noses of the future” in Symrise’s Chennai office, located on a 10-acre compound with landscaped gardens. It offers a diploma at the end of a two-and-a-half-year period.

Candidates for the next session at the academy in Germany, are under selection to begin the program next summer.
