Each year, a prestigious sponsor partners the Corpo 35 competition, offering a selection of its precious raw materials to enable the 35 selected candidates to formulate their olfactory creations. This gives them the chance to work with a range of top-quality products that they would not otherwise have access to on their own.
This year, Firmeniche will be offering an exceptional palette of its finest synthetic, natural and base ingredients, all of which will have a story, a legitimacy to inspire the selected candidates and reveal their creativity. Details of the theme and the "rules of the game" that will set a new tone for this 2019 edition will be revealed by Firmenich at the presentation of its precious raw materials.
Cécile Vialla's starting point was the observation that "niche perfumery is still under-represented in France, and little-known compared to other countries". Created at the initiative of Parfumerie Damiette in Rouen, and renewed every year, in partnership with over thirty players in the industry, Corpo 35 provides an opportunity for new talent to emerge, and to encourage and unleash the creativity of young perfumers.
At the end of the six months dedicated to creating the perfume and the presentation file, the jury of professionals, chaired by Dora Baghriche, Perfumer at Firmenich, will unveil the five winners at the awards evening in June 2019, to which will be added two winners rewarded by the Centdegrés agency for the creative part of the storyboard.
Registration is open until September 30 for this 3rd edition, whose theme is "Impressionism".
