NEROLI SFA
Our companies
Our history
The art of fragrance composition is intimately associated with the world of luxury and sophistication. Premium fragrances move and send positive messages, delivering true olfactory experiences.

Fragrance house SFA - Société Française d'Aromatiques® was born in this spirit in 1963 in Grasse, the cradle of modern perfumery, in the South of France. Meantime, NEROLI FRANCE is the result of the merger of fragrance houses CREATIONS & PARFUMS and FLORESSENCE. Created in the 1980s, the two brands are built on the savoir-faire of beautiful raw materials, from the cultivation of natural ingredients to their transformation, offering their domestic and international clients high quality fragrance compositions.

This ensemble brings together passionate experts of the perfume industry in the pure “Pays de Grasse” tradition promoting its craftsmanship worldwide. Property of Symrise AG since 2022, this group works independently, constituting a center of excellence of French perfumery.

Pays de Grasse
The town of Grasse, located in the South-East of France, in the Provence - Alpes - Côte d'Azur region, was originally renowned for leather tannery and glove making. As early as the 16th century, tanners experimented with aromatic essences in order to perfume leather after the smelly tanning process. The competence of a perfumer developed locally ever since, also thanks to the many aromatic plants cultivated and distilled in the region. French perfumery know-how has been acclaimed and recognized by UNESCO in 2018 to preserve precious traditions. Grasse’s perfumery “savoir-faire” includes the cultivation of perfume plants, the knowledge and processing of raw materials and the art of perfume composition. Our two fragrance houses, nestled in Grasse County, embody the heritage and our perfumers own the craftmanship.
