The Fragrance Foundation France has announced the finalists for this year’s Fragrance Foundation Awards, which recognize innovation and creativity in the fragrance industry. The winners of the Awards will be unveiled during a ceremony that will take place virtually on October 8.
This year’s edition of the awards includes a new category called The Responsible Innovation Award. The award recognizes a fragrance initiative that demonstrates excellence in the area of sustainability. Along with the The Fragrance Foundation France’s partner, insurance company Generali, a jury of experts in the field of CSR will choose the winner.
BW Confidential will publish a special magazine for the event covering the finalists and winners. BW Confidential has been the Fragrance Foundation France annual awards’ exclusive trade-press partner since 2016.
