International Award of the Perfumer-Creator
The International Perfumer’s Prize will celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2017, with the award looking to encourage and celebrate creativity in the industry.
“The Award honors the author of a perfume whose olfactive form is distinguished by its original character and esthetic value,” explain organisers.
The award will be attributed to a perfumer who will be anonymously selected by two separate juries:
- A Technical Jury, composed of perfumers and evaluators will pre-select at least 3 perfumes which will then be presented to an Artistic jury which will determine the winner.
- An Artistic Jury, the majority of whom are creators, senior perfumers as well as personalities from other professions: writers, journalists, musicians, painters, photographers, actors, florists, and museum curators.
