About Us
The British Society of Perfumers was formed in 1963 with the vision to promote the interests of individuals actively engaged as perfumers and to improve the status of perfumers by seeking wider recognition of perfumery as a profession.
Recently the Society has expanded to include Associate Members, Student Members and Friends of the Society. The BSP now serves as a forum to promote and support the fragrance industry throughout the UK and many of our events are open to the public.

“Pleasures, small pleasures: I like the pleasures we pilfer from everyday life, they brighten the day. They are mundane, they feel repetitive, they reassure. If we overlook them we deprive ourselves of the joys that make life bearable.”
