From the Charles N\u00e8gre media library to Grasse Campus, from Villa Fragonard to the Palais des Congr\u00e8s\u2014there wasn\u2019t a single street corner that didn\u2019t display what turned out to be the official signage of the Grasse Perfume Week! And rightly so\u2014it was needed to guide festival-goers from one venue to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A celebration of global olfactory cultures<\/strong><br>An emblematic building in Grasse, the Palais des Congr\u00e8s welcomed nearly 80 exhibitors. A veritable olfactory beehive, it buzzed with voices in English, Chinese, Italian, Korean, and Arabic\u2014truly a reflection of contemporary perfumery. The fair hosted local manufacturers and perfume houses, brought together by Grasse Expertise, as well as 70 fragrance brands spread across two floors\u2014including around ten Chinese brands, brought by the organizer of our partner trade show in China, Notes Shanghai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-id=\"12066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_3e_Etage.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12066\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_3e_Etage.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_3e_Etage-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_3e_Etage-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-id=\"12068\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Marque.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12068\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Marque.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Marque-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Marque-768x512.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"972\" data-id=\"12072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Selina.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12072\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Selina.jpeg 1000w, https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Selina-300x292.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.perfume-week.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Palais_Selina-768x746.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Grasse Campus, a flagship of the region\u2019s educational and academic excellence, visitors were immersed in the sensual world of <em>Parfum d\u2019Empire<\/em>, the brand created and driven by perfumer Marc-Antoine Corticchiato.
