ISIPCA

ISIPCA ("Institut supérieur international du parfum, de la cosmétique et de l'aromatique alimentaire") is a school for post-graduate studies in perfume, cosmetics products and food flavor formulation, with an apprenticeship period in the industry. It was originally founded in 1970 by Jean-Jacques Guerlain as "ISIP" (Institut supérieur international du parfum). It became "Groupe ISIPCA" in 1984 when the "CCIV" (Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Versailles-Val-d'Oise-Yvelines) backed up and sponsored the school with significant capital

Since 2004, ISIPCA and UVSQ (University of Versailles) have established a partnership in order to offer postgraduate programmes (Bachelor Degree Diplomas and Professional Masters) in perfumery, cosmetics and food flavoring.

Joined with the school is the "Osmothèque", a perfume museum that research ancient perfumes, and reconstructs fragrances whose formulas have been lost.
