I’m delighted to share that I have joined ISIPCA and I will teach Perfume History starting this fall. ISIPCA (Institut supérieur international du parfum, de la cosmétique et de l’aromatique alimentaire) was founded by Jean- Jacques Guerlain in 1970, and it’s the leading academy in France conferring degrees in perfume, cosmetics and flavors. It’s thrilling to become part of its faculty. I have always enjoyed teaching and I look forward to exploring the subject of iconic perfumes and history with my students.
In the meantime, I will resume my online perfumery classes starting this winter. As always, I will release the new dates via my newsletter, so if you haven’t done so already, please subscribe to stay informed. If you have any wishes about particular topics, I would be glad to hear from you.

Fazal Cheema: So so many congrats, Victoria. With all the horrible things in the world, teaching and, especially, close interactions with students will keep your mind off worries, even if for short whiles.
Does this mean you and your hubby will both move to France or he will stay in Belgium and you guys will commute to meet each other on a weekly or so basis. I am also curious how this job materialized? Did you actively decide to pursue classroom teaching and then reached out to ISIPCA or someone told you about this opening and encouraged you to apply?
