The Art and Olfaction Awards champions creative innovation and artistic risk-taking in perfumery and olfactory art.

The Institute for Art and Olfaction (IAO) has named the winners of the 12th Annual Art and Olfaction Awards, revealed June 11, 2026, at the Gazarte Cultural Center in Athens, Greece.
The ceremony brought together perfumers, artists, journalists, educators and fragrance enthusiasts from around the world for an intimate and friendly celebration of excellence in global independent, artisan and experimental practices with scent.
In its 12th year, the Art and Olfaction Awards champions creative innovation and artistic risk-taking in perfumery and olfactory art. Through a rigorous, three-stage, blind-judging process conducted by an international panel of experts, the awards recognize work distinguished by originality and craftsmanship.
“In our twelfth year, we celebrated the work of perfumers from all over the world. The excellence on evidence in the winning and finalist perfumes demonstrate that experimental and independent practices with scent provide a vital model for what can be creatively accomplished with perfumery,” said Art and Olfaction Awards founder Saskia Wilson-Brown.

The evening’s celebration highlighted the growing international reach of independent perfumery, with finalists and winners representing a broad spectrum of cultural perspectives, aesthetic approaches, and olfactory traditions.
Held against the backdrop of Athens and the Acropolis, the ceremony reflected the Art and Olfaction Awards’ ongoing mission to create meaningful dialogue around scent as an artistic medium and cultural force.
“We’re excited to build on our commitment to international dialogue in perfumery by holding the next edition of the Art and Olfaction Awards in Mexico City, in May 2027,” said Wilson-Brown. “Our team is thrilled to bring the awards to this important cultural center, which serves as a geographic bridge between North America and Latin America.” Submissions for the 13th awards will open in late September and will be open to perfumes and projects launched to market between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2026.
The awards are supported by a roster of partners, including presenting partner MANE, producing partners Vioryl, Luckyscent | Scentbar, Pochpac, Perfumer’s Apprentice, and Esxence, and community partners 12Gods, Concepts, Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Isno, Lefteris Lisgaras, ÇaFleureBon and Noted.
