When I overheard that one of the Grasse Institute of Perfumery (GIP) alumni is perfumer Jessica September Buchanan of the popular niche brand 1000 Flowers.... well, I had to meet her! I have been profiling her career since 2017 when she was mentioned in a New York Time article I was reading. We met at her fragrance atelier (workshop) in downtown Grasse. She shared how she became a perfumer and how her career combines chemistry with the arts.
