The name SIMPPAR (Salon International des Matières Premières pour la PARfumerie) first appeared in 2013, at the 11th edition (2013) of the Salon des Matières Premières pour la Parfumerie!
The origins of this show go back to the raw materials day launched by the SFP (Société Française des Parfumeurs) in 1991! Held every two years, this small gathering of SFP members and a handful of raw materials suppliers has over the years become the preferred place for producers and manufacturers from all over the world to meet perfumers and buyers from all over the world. Organised very quickly every two years (alternating with the World Perfumery Congress (WPC)) in a hotel in Levallois, the show had to move to a site that could accommodate more exhibitors: in 2011, the future SIMPPAR moved to the Espace Champerret (we're staying in Levallois!).
Although the show now has more than a hundred stands, and new technologies such as AI are also making their way into the perfumery sector, the show aims to remain true to its origins: a friendly meeting place where everyone (the exhibitors) is on an equal footing - multinationals and small producers have the same 12 m2 stand!
While everyone has the same surface area, everyone is free to set up their own stand and be ingenious with the layout and decor: stand out from the crowd by hiring the latest generation of OLED screens, or an immersive touch screen, virtual reality or touch terminals from A-Loc Audiovisuel.

In 2024, whether it was a one-off event or a new habit is an open question (!), the show broke with its tradition of being held every two years (in odd-numbered years, for those of you keeping track) and held its 17th edition in Grasse, the cradle of French, and indeed global, perfumery. In 2025, SIMPPAR will resume its biennial cycle and return to its origins and brands in Levallois.
