The Fragrance Foundation (TFF) hosted its annual luncheon celebrating the start to its awards season by announcing the finalists for the 2024 Fragrance Foundation Awards.
Of the 19 fragrance categories, five winners were announced with the winners of the remaining 14 categories to be revealed at the grand ceremony in June. The annual awards honors recipients for their achievement, innovation and excellence in the fragrance industry. Linda G. Levy, president of The Fragrance Foundation, took the stage at Cipriani 42 in New York City to celebrate all the finalists within the nomination categories spotlighting the best in fragrance from 2023.
In addition to the finalists, the event revealed the celebrated 2024 Lifetime Achievement Perfumer Honoree, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, master perfumer, Bvlgari and LVMH. As previously announced, Gilles Andrier, CEO of Givaudan, will be presented with the 2024 Hall of Fame honor at the awards celebration held at NYC’s Lincoln Center on June 5.
Special guests Alka Joshi, international bestselling-author of The Perfumer of Paris, the third book of The Jaipur Trilogy, and Michael Edwards, fragrance historian and author of “American Legends: An Evolution of American Fragrances” shared their latest releases and reflected on their fragrance journeys. These authors joined over 350 industry luminaries and influencers who gathered for the presentation and celebrated their unity for #FragranceForwardTFF.
“Today’s luncheon is an exciting moment as the fragrance community and media gathers together for a lift off to TFF’s awards season,” said Linda G. Levy, president of The Fragrance Foundation. “The industry celebrates the finalists whose work and passion have made the American fragrance category more exciting each year with new innovative introductions.” Adding, “One of the highpoints of the afternoon is the announcement of the Lifetime Achievement Perfumer Award. Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud’s body of work and contributions in fragrance are extraordinary and we look forward to celebrating him in June.”
