ExTract’s named Joya’s Shades of Dusk solid perfume as “Best in Show.” The New York-based firm was honored for the perfume which captures romance and rituals throughout the ages in mythic amulets containing fragrances reminiscent of classical aphrodisiacs.

Other Winter 2010 winners were:
BATH & BODY CATEGORY: DayNa Decker (Los Angeles, CA) for its Botanika Body Essence Buffer with fine pumice lava crystals which gently remove dead skin cells while rejuvenating skin regeneration, and meadowfoam seed oil to prevent moisture loss.
