Perfumes of the Year Crowned For 2024 at Annual Awards Ceremony

By MiNDFOOD

Perfumes of the Year Crowned For 2024 at Annual Awards Ceremony
The best perfumes of the year have been awarded in the annual ceremony known as “Oscars of the fragrance industry.”

The Fragrance Foundation holds a glamorous gala in New York City to hand out the accolades. This year 19 winners were celebrated, one perfume – Marc Jacobs Daisy – entered the Hall of Fame, and two special awards honored figures who have made a significant impact to the industry over the years.

The 19 categories span men’s, women’s and even home fragrance such as candles.

This year’s hit key winners? Burberry’s vanilla-laden Goddess EDP, YSL’s new men’s woody citrus MYSLF Eau de Parfum and the third scent from singer Billie Eilish were among those taking out top categories.

This year Marc Jacobs’ Daisy EDT entered the fragrance Hall of Fame.

Though scent is subjective, the event, first established in 1973, was created to acknowledge the most influential, innovative and exciting perfume launches each year. Categories are voted on in three ways, by Fragrance Foundation members, by an expert panel specific to certain categories and by the general public for the Consumer Choice categories.

The awards also honours key industry figures for their work furthering the success and popularity of perfume.

This year’s Hall of Fame Award was bestowed to Givaudan CEO, Gilles Andrier.

“It is an honour to be a part of this industry that celebrates our shared humanity, and for us at Givaudan helping people live happier and healthier lives, with love for nature,” said Andrier.

Bulgari and Louis Vuitton Master Perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud received the award for the Lifetime Achievement Perfumer.

“I am honored to have been recognised,” he said. “It’s the greatest joy of my life, as well as my passion, to create fragrances that take you on a personal journey.”
