The ISPC Recognition Award 2026 is presented to Philippe Sauvegrain : The Father of “Cassis Base 345 B”

When we think of Philippe Sauvegrain, we think of blackcurrant. But not just any blackcurrant—the iconic Cassis Base 345. The one that famously “does not smell like cat pee… but goes wrooom!”

While olfactive styles have evolved and many historical bases have faded away, Cassis Base 345 remains a cult material, celebrated by perfumers worldwide for nearly fifty years. By creating these revolutionary notes, Philippe gave the fragrance world new words, new colors, and new textures.
