Ingredient Sourcing
Knowledge of ingredients that enriches every olfactory exploration.
Grasse · Since 1986
Fragrance Expertise: From Ingredients to Production
Founded in Grasse in 1986, PCW France develops fragrances for fine perfumery, cosmetics and scented products. We source raw materials for perfumers and laboratories, create bespoke fragrances for brands and manufacture finished products in our Grasse atelier.
DirectPCW brings that expertise online, giving professionals access to a selection of ingredients used in fragrance creation.
The Guichard-Blaizot heritage
Seven generations. A contemporary perspective.
Seven generations of the Guichard-Blaizot family have helped shape the history of perfumery. At PCW, this knowledge of the craft goes hand in hand with a drive to develop new methods, tools and ways of working.
Our integrated model
Artisanal sensitivity. Industrial precision.
Our model brings different disciplines together in practical ways. In Grasse, our creation, laboratory and production teams work on one site. Ingredient knowledge informs composition, while manufacturing requirements are considered from the development stage.
This approach preserves the creative intent while preparing for production, from formula and component selection to testing, filling, packing and quality checks.
One house · Three areas of expertise
Complementary disciplines. A shared direction.
