XVIIth
International Exhibition of Raw Materials for Perfumery
Following the success of this year’s edition, the XVIIth SIMPPAR promises to be under the best auspices for its first edition in Grasse, on Tuesday May 28 and Wednesday May 29, 2024.
Actually, we received many more demands than booth available and the exhibition is now quite full with many newcomers, both raw materiual producers and equipment manufacturerS (see the list of exhibitors on this site).
We remind you that this exhibition is reserved to professionals in the perfume industry and is not open to individuals, retailers or independents whose activity is not linked to Perfumery.
To allow participants to have time after the exhibition to visit the rose fields and distillers, the MIP – International Perfume Museum, or the companies in the Grasse area, the date has been brought forward by one day.
Post-exhibition visits will then take place on Thursday May 30 and Friday May 31.
A program of visits to the producers will be organized in partnership with the Grasse Tourist Office, which will be communicated to you on the website :

Regarding visits to the Grasse companies, you have to contact them directly for this purpose, before or during the exhibition.
If you come by car, you will find a list of nearby city car parks on the « information » page.
You also have the option of coming by train from Cannes. The « Centifolia » shuttle, leaving every 15 minutes from the train station in Grasse, will take you to Cours Honoré Cresp. The shuttle journey takes around 20 minutes, unless there is heavy traffic. Tickets must be taken on site.
