Testimonials

"I joined the ESSEC Beauty Chair for many reasons. I wanted to expand my knowledge of this sector that I am passionate about and understand the new challenges. Our semester was focused on perfume, a sector I did not know anything about and it was interesting for me to discover it. Courses, workshops and seminars are really precise, sophisticated, fascinating and enlightening. We learn directly from experienced professionals on a wide range of topics. We have the chance to exchange and work with inspiring people from prestigious partner companies and obtain professional opportunities afterwards. One of the greatest advantages is to be surrounded by peers who are also passionate about the industry which allows for insightful exchanges. The trip to Grasse is also a plus!"
