Philippe Paparella-Paris

Although he was not born in Grasse, Philippe Paparella-Paris grew up in an atmosphere of the most fragrant kind, influenced by a mother and grandmothers who loved Y and Yves Saint-Laurent, Coco and N°5 de Chanel. From those early years, he has retained a true passion for perfume and, more generally, a taste for aesthetics, collecting bottles as if they were Hermès carrés. Indonesia, China, Dubai, Brazil... For more than twenty years, this sensitive and precise perfumer has worked in every corner of the planet, becoming a great connoisseur of local tastes and of different markets. With his generous, shared spirit, he likes four-handed creations, as well as passing on his knowledge to young perfumers. And if he rolls up his shirt sleeves, it’s possible that you’ll see the many tattoos that cover his arms... 2000 - GRADUATED FROM ISIPCA 2008 - BECOMES A PERFUMER FOR SYMRISE IN SHANGHAI 2016 - SETTLES AS SENIOR PERFUMER AT SYMRISE IN DUBAI 2020 - JOINS SYMRISE'S FINE FRAGRANCE DIVISION IN SÃO PAULO 2022 - CREATES FIVE PERFUMES FOR THE NUMERUS COLLECTION OF SPIRITUM 2022 - RECEIVES THE INTERNATIONAL FRANÇOIS COTY PRIZE
