A pioneer in French perfumery
Founded in 1758 in Grasse in the south of France, Maison Sozio is one of the pioneers in fine French perfumery.
The history of the Maison Sozio goes back to one of the very first families of perfumers in Grasse. Having been at the origin of the community of glove-makers and perfumers, a craft whose expertise lies in traditional perfuming of leather gloves. The Artaud, Cresp-Girard, Giraud and Sozio families, heirs to this family secret, devoted themselves to the production of raw materials for perfumery and to the creation of perfumes, before concentrating their efforts on the latter in the 20th century.
With the integration of Synarome in 2021, Sozio ties back to its legacy by returning to its initial activity : raw materials. This acquisition enhances Sozio perfumers’ palette of premium ingredients – both synthetic and natural – and iconic specialties such as Ambrarome and Animalis.
With these generations of learning and knowledge, Sozio has become a key player in the perfumery landscape.
A family-owned business
Since 1758, many families have marked the history of Maison Sozio, passing on their perfume craftmanship as a precious part of French heritage.
In 1911, Honoré Joseph Sozio joined forces with his son Ernest and renamed the company: J&E SOZIO. This date marks the beginning of the flourishing development of Maison Sozio.
Then, in 1979, Robert Moor took over Maison Sozio, which he passed on to his son Arnaud Moor in 2004, writing the next chapter in this fragrant story.
Sozio is now part of the Proxis Développement group, of which Arnaud Moor is chairman.
