The European Fragrance and Cosmetic Master (EFCM) is an excellent program with many educational and cultural advantages. As an educational advantage, the EFCM goes beyond the usual classroom-teaching setting. In both France and Italy, numerous conferences and visits are organised throughout the year. Last year in France we had many perfumes, managers, commercial directors, and other people directly involved in the industry come and speak to us about their working experiences. We also had arranged visits to L'Oreal, Rochas, and Guerlain in Paris and, best of all, a five-day trip to Grasse, the perfume capital of the world, to visit other industries and see and walk through the rose fields of Chanel. These conferences and visits allowed us to get a better understanding and appreciation of the industry.
As a cultural advantage, the EFCM is a program that extends far beyond Europe. In my promotion alone there were fourteen people coming from eleven different countries. This makes doing the Masters an even more rewarding experience. Not only do you get to learn all about one of the most fascinating and luxurious industries: cosmetics and perfume, you get to meet people from all over the world who you can exchange ideas with and get their opinions on using cosmetics and perfumes. By doing so, it is easy to realise how international the market is and how important it is to have an international degree like the EFCM.
