Symrise Recruits Recent College Grads to Become the Next Gen of Fragrance Creatives

Symrise is recruiting recent college graduates from North America and Latin America to join the renowned Perfumery School of Symrise to become the next generation of fragrance creatives.
 
The company wishes for a diverse demographic of aspiring fragrance experts to bring fresh perspectives that add new understanding to the evolving needs and expectations of customers and consumers.
 
“Throughout its 225 years of fragrance history Symrise has always committed to investing in and nurturing the perfumery talent of the future. Innovation is in our DNA, and we look forward to seeing this next generation of noses combine our existing knowledge and expertise with their own unique ideas to create exciting scent experiences for consumers and drive new narratives and business opportunities for our customers,” said Eder Ramos, global president Fragrance Division.
 
About the Program
 
Symrise is looking for perfumery students to start their creative and passionate career in the fragrance industry. As perfumery converges arts and sciences similar to architecture, the students will need a strong background in science, technology, engineering and arts and/or mathematics (S.T.E.A.M.) Symrise is searching for scientific minds with an artistic heart. Experienced master and senior perfumers will support the talented young students during their training.
 
The course will include studying 2,500 ingredients, to learn how to create complex fragrance compositions and then incorporate them into various applications. Students will apply this knowledge practically, learning to identify individual raw materials in fragrance compositions and becoming skilled at fragrance creation and development.
 
The program starts in April 2022 and spans 5 years of rigorous training. This includes 3 years learning the foundations of perfumery at Symrise Holzminden, followed by 2 years training on the job at any of Symrise’s 11 creative centers around the world. Students will pair with mentors who will inform their training and provide guidance as they develop their own signature style of formulating fragrance.
 
Once they have completed their five years of training, the new noses will join Symrise’s North American and Latin American perfumery teams. The program offers a unique opportunity to travel and experience living abroad while learning from each other, local experts and master perfumers, and broadening exposure to different cultures and trends.
