Cinquième Sens: an expertise
olfactory internationally
From Paris, Grasse, New York and 17 partner locations, Cinquième Sens brings high-quality olfactory culture closer to the markets. A common foundation of methods, tools and requirements connects the network; each partner anchors it in the customs and sensibilities of its territory.
A common culture,
local sensitivities
A scent does not evoke the same memories everywhere. Words, gestures, materials and practices change from one culture to another. Cinquième Sens shares a foundation of methods, tools and requirements with its network; each partner gives it a local resonance thanks to its knowledge of the trades, audiences and markets.
Paris provides this foundation; the partners make it alive in their own territory. The movement works in both directions: their creations, their uses, and the signals they observe enrich our global understanding of perfume.
Knowledge circulates to build coherent training, support, and experiences that are attentive to each culture.
