International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (NYSE:IFF) (Euronext
Paris: IFF), a leading innovator of sensory experiences that move
the world, has named Francisco Marano and Stephen Nicoll as Master
Perfumers. 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. The addition of Messrs.
Marano and Nicoll, both of whom work in Consumer Fragrances, bring
the total number at this prestigious level at IFF to four,
including Carlos Benaim (2013) and Dominique Ropion (2018). The
title was established at the Company in 2013.
“The passion to achieve the levels of mastery that Steve and
Francisco demonstrate on a daily basis cannot be taught in any
school and cannot be demanded by one’s employer. It is entirely
innate,” said IFF Chairman & CEO Andreas Fibig. “Our
responsibility is to create the environment that lets that passion
take root and flourish. I am beyond proud to honor the depth,
breadth, and impact of Francisco and Steve’s contributions - ones
that bring joy to so many people around the world. We congratulate
them on their many achievements and look forward to many more.”
As a teenager interested in chemistry, Mr. Marano began his
journey in a flavors lab in Brazil until a job opened in one for
fragrances. Fascinated by perfumery, he continued his chemistry
studies in high school and worked to develop his unique olfactive
skills - the results of which were noticed by his manager and laid
the groundwork for his future. When the invitation to train as a
perfumer materialized, Mr. Marano realized that his dream was
within his grasp and threw himself into learning all he could and
started his career in earnest. In 1978, he joined IFF in Brazil. In
the years since, his creations have found their way into the
olfactive memories of countless people around the world through
some of the industry’s most prestigious fine and iconic consumer
brands.
“I am so honored to receive the title of Master Perfumer,” Mr.
Marano said. “It is the ultimate tribute in a perfumer’s career and
a genuine privilege to join my colleagues Carlos, Dominique, and
Steve. Perfumery is my passion – to have this recognition for
something I love is the greatest reward I could imagine.”
Mr. Nicoll’s career path began, one could say, in his blood. His
Parisienne grandmother, a talented cook, taught him to smell every
ingredient before adding it to a dish. His father was a perfumer
who worked for several fragrance companies in England -- and came
home every day smelling of his latest creation. It was while
working with his father at Bourjois Chanel in London as a summer
job that he first saw how perfumers fit into the intricacies of
fragrance and cosmetics manufacture and his curiosity was piqued.
His father set up a small lab at home and began his fragrance
compounding education in parallel to his schooling. His love of
fragrance grew and really took flight when he was apprenticed in
Grasse, France and began his formal training. He returned to the UK
to complete his training and was accepted in to the British Society
of Perfumers. In 1986, he joined Bush Boake Allen (BBA),
transitioning to IFF when it acquired BBA in 2000. His career has
been shaped by his passion for understanding what’s most important
to the consumer experience and his commitment to surpassing their
expectations.
Mr. Nicoll said, “Being curious by nature, I was always
fascinated by how things smell. I am fortunate to have discovered a
career that allows me to continue to be curious every day. In
perfumery, we have the ability to touch millions of people’s lives
through the fragrances we create -- and make their lives better,
happier, and more satisfying. For a perfumer, there is no greater
reward.”
Nicolas Mirzayantz, IFF Group President, Fragrances, said, “Over
the course of their careers with us, Steve and Francisco have
consistently created outstanding fragrances in the Consumer
categories. Through their passion for and dedication to their art,
they touch the lives of so many and transform the everyday. As
perfumers for consumer fragrances, you won’t see Francisco’s or
Steve’s name in fragrance blogs or on the bottles containing their
creations, but what they make becomes part of your personal
olfactive tapestry. The smell of your blanket when you were a
child, the aroma of your mother’s hair, or the scent that tells you
you’re home – these are the irreplaceable contributions of these
incredibly talented men.”
