Regulatory News:
International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext
Paris:IFF) (TASE:IFF), named Anne Flipo Master Perfumer, where she
joins the ranks of the world’s finest scent artists. The Company’s
designation recognizes perfumers who have demonstrated consistent
and outstanding levels of creativity and craftsmanship in the art
of perfumery, and exceptional leadership in and measurable impact
on the industry. Ms. Flipo is the fifth perfumer at IFF recognized
with the prestigious title, which was established in 2013.
“One of the great distinctions about IFF is the sheer quality
and extraordinary talent of our people,” said Andreas Fibig, IFF
Chairman & CEO. “Our perfumers create fragrances that form the
sensory backdrop to people’s lives – something Anne understands
well. I am thrilled at her recognition, not only for her lifetime
of achievements thus far, but for the great things we continue to
expect from her.”
Raised in Picardy, France, Ms. Flipo’s childhood was scented
with wildflowers and vegetable gardens. She was fascinated by
nature, cooking, and music, influences which remain with her today.
After her baccalaureate, she joined ISIPCA, the legendary school
for perfume, flavors, and cosmetics, to begin her training for a
career in flavors. While an apprentice, she encountered essential
oils for perfumery and realized that a life in fragrances is where
her future would be made. Once ensconced in the industry, Ms. Flipo
worked alongside some of the greats in the profession, each of whom
left their influence on the young perfumer. She honed her personal
style and approach and as she did, enjoyed a series of successes
that established her as a perfumer to watch. Since joining IFF in
2004, her list of “wins” with extraordinary and iconic brands has
only grown.
Ms. Flipo said, “I would like to speak about my 15 years with
IFF. The life of a perfumer can be challenging, but IFF gave me the
room to come into my own skin. It forced me to be the master of my
own life, to let go of the fear, to embrace who I am, and discover
independence.” Ms. Flipo continued, “IFF supports you when you
challenge yourself, and it treats us as individuals, rather than a
machine. At IFF, you are part of a team, where I know I belong, and
where I know that what I bring is unique and valued. I was able to
overcome any obstacles thanks to the outstanding human fabric of
the company, which holds everything together, and creates common
values which we all stand for: passion, simplicity and kindness…
and a bit of madness too!”
Ms. Flipo industry recognitions include the Cosmetique Magazine
Perfumer of the Year award in 2014 and Cosmetic Executive Women
(CEW) France Achiever Award for Creation in 2016. In addition, many
of her fragrance creations have been the recipients of the
Fragrance Foundation Awards in both the US and Europe.
“Anne’s admirers are countless,” said Nicolas Mirzayantz,
Divisional CEO of Scent. “including her contemporaries, mentees,
clients and endless consumers. Every one of her fragrance designs
is a vivid combination of her passionate heart and curious,
creative mind.” Mr. Mirzayantz continued, “Like her fellow Master
Perfumers, Anne is committed to mentoring the next generation of
perfumers as they take their exciting and distinct journeys.
Their genuine appreciation of her vast knowledge, inspiring spirit
and dynamic instruction supports their dreams to connect to the
world through scent. I am truly thrilled to recognize Anne with
this well-deserved honor.”
