Presenters from the worlds of fragrance,
fashion and film celebrated the Best in Fragrance from
Perfumer to Packaging Design
NEW
YORK, June 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- In a
star studded salute, The 2024 Fragrance Foundation Awards
Ceremony celebrated 19 winners and inducted two special
honorees during its iconic event held at The David H. Koch
Theater at Lincoln Center, this evening. With over 1,000 guests
from the global fragrance industry in attendance, the festivities
included celebrities, artists, designers, and influencers, all
gathered to celebrate the extraordinary achievements and
individuals in fragrances. Two of the highest honors, the Hall
of Fame Award was bestowed to Givaudan CEO, Gilles Andrier, and the Lifetime
Achievement Perfumer was presented to Jacques
Cavallier-Belletrud, Bvlgari and Louis Vuitton Master
Perfumer. Following last year's milestone of the Awards' 50th,
this year's sold-out ceremony commemorated another landmark, the
75th Anniversary of the founding of The Fragrance Foundation
(TFF).
TFF President Linda G. Levy
remarked, "Tonight's ceremony was a magnificent celebration of
outstanding winners, remarkable honorees, as well as a celebration
of our impact in the U.S. fragrance industry. It was a historic
night for The Fragrance Foundation from the number of attendees to
the number of years we have been building community for everyone
who loves fragrance and welcoming the diversity across America to
the wonderful world of fragrance." She added, "The Awards are our
way of continuing to inspire the world to discover the magic,
passion and artistry of fragrance."
The exuberance for TFF's coveted awards reached a crescendo as
winners were announced for 19 fragrance categories spanning Men's,
Women's, Universal and Candle & Home to Perfume Extraordinaire,
Packaging Design and Media Campaign, among others. It was a night
where creativity and craftsmanship were celebrated by the fragrance
community, culminating in a series of standout moments saluting the
very best in fragrances launched in 2023.
Presenters included actress, supermodel and entrepreneur
Christie Brinkley, Elle's
Editor-in-Chief Nina Garcia,
award-winning actress Julianna
Margulies, fragrance founders including Mona Kattan, Chris
Collins, Bernardo Möller and Giancarlo Perez, designers Anna Sui and Narciso
Rodriguez, actress Chase Sui
Wonders, among other attending designers including
Francisco Costa, Rebecca Moses, and Vera
Wang.
A hallmark of the night and for the industry was the induction
of two visionaries who were recognized for innovation and impact in
the fragrance industry. TFF honored Gilles Andrier, CEO of
Givaudan as the latest recipient of the prestigious Hall of
Fame Award and Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, Master
Perfumer for Bvlgari and Louis
Vuitton as Lifetime Achievement Perfumer to its
esteemed echelon of honorees. Always a highly anticipated moment,
the Consumer Choice Awards crowned three fragrances that
captured the hearts of the American fragrance enthusiast who voted
earlier in the awards season.
"This is the first time a fragrance house has received this
prestigious award, which makes it even more special and meaningful
for me and for Givaudan," said Gilles Andrier, Chief Executive
Officer of Givaudan. "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. I
also want to pay tribute to all of the perfumers for their
craftsmanship and contribution. They truly make magic and I feel
incredibly fortunate to work alongside such talented individuals
and teams."
Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud, Master Perfumer, Bvlgari and
Louis Vuitton, noted, "I am honored
to have been recognized by The Fragrance Foundation as this year's
Lifetime Achievement Perfumer. It's the greatest joy of my life, as
well as my passion, to create fragrances that take you on a
personal journey."
A unique experience of the Awards was the infusion of an
exclusive scent created by the Lifetime Achievement Perfumer.
"Rose Fields" filled the entrance to
the glamorous gala, setting the ambient scent for the evening and
evoking fond memories of the childhood home of
Cavallier-Belletrud in Grasse, France in a night of nostalgia for the Master
Perfumer.
The emotional power of fragrance to connect, inspire and
captivate was celebrated throughout the awards ceremony, and
through the spoken word and cinematographic effects interspersed in
the presentation onstage. The creative collaboration of
filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg
and award-winning poet Rhael "LionHeart" Cape, commissioned
by TFF, captured the transportive and emotive mystery of fragrance
through poetry and moving art with dramatic aerial photography and
narration that re-envisioned the sensorial journey of fragrance
discovery.
The evening culminated with a sit down dinner in the theater's
promenade and an after-party on the terrace with music specially
curated by international DJ Alexandra Richards.
