ISIPCA (Institut supérieur international du parfum, de la cosmétique et de l'aromatique alimentaire) is a French school for post-graduate studies in perfume, cosmetics products and food flavor formulation, with an apprenticeship period in the industry.{{in lang|fr}}[http://www.jversailles.fr/article/article/isipca-40eme-anniversaire/ ISIPCA: 40ÈME ANNIVERSAIRE] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161104203843/http://www.jversailles.fr/article/article/isipca-40eme-anniversaire/ |date=2016-11-04 }} It was founded in 1970 by Jean-Jacques Guerlain as ISIP (Institut supérieur international du parfum).{{in lang|fr}}[https://www.fun-mooc.fr/universities/isipca/ Institut Supérieur International du Parfum, de la Cosmétique] It became Groupe ISIPCA in 1984 when the CCIV (Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Versailles-Val-d'Oise-Yvelines) backed up and sponsored the school with significant capital.

From 2004 to 2017, ISIPCA and UVSQ (University of Versailles) had established a partnership in order to offer postgraduate programmes (Bachelor's degree Diplomas and Professional Masters) in perfumery, cosmetics and food flavoring.

The school is affiliated with the Osmothèque, a perfume archive that researches ancient perfumes, and reconstructs fragrances whose formulas have been lost.

The facilities are a mix of renovated ancient buildings, protected by Historic Landmark status, and contemporary architecture by parisian architects Philippe Ameller and Jacques Dubois (2004).
