Parfex Shines a Light on the 2025 GIP Class in Grasse

The Lights of Grasse Inspire the 2025 GIP Class, Sponsored by Parfex

Parfex had the honour of sponsoring the 2025 class of the Grasse Institute of Perfumery (GIP), part of the ASFO, whose graduation and awards ceremony concluded the program on December 17 at the Musée International de la Parfumerie in Grasse.

Composed of students from 10 countries across 3 continents, this class explored the lights of Grasse through their creations. All four teams were recognised for the quality of their fragrances, with the winning perfume, Ahir, standing out. Created by Guillem Herms (Spain), Chung-Yi Kuo (Taiwan), and Yenchi Lin (Taiwan), Ahir illuminates the three iconic towers of Grasse, capturing the city’s brilliance and timelessness through a creative and sensitive olfactory approach, embodying the fusion of heritage and contemporary imagination.

The fragrance will soon be exhibited at the Grasse Tourist Office. Thanks to the City of Grasse for this initiative, which allows the creation to be shared with a wide audience.

This sponsorship was a truly human experience with passionate and dedicated talents, representing the new generation of perfumers. Parfex reaffirms its commitment to passing on Grasse’s perfumery know-how and congratulates all the graduates on their promising future internationally.
