The Fragrance Foundation Awards 2020
The Fragrance Foundation announced the winners of its 2020 Awards today — only digitally, via webinar. The webinar, viewed live by more than 1,000 globally, celebrated both winners and finalists for their talents and achievements in perfumery.
The virtual event was hosted by international author, dietitian, and model Maye Musk. Presenters, who spoke about their personal perspectives on fragrance, included music icons Cher and Lionel Richie; fashion designers Francisco Costa, Wes Gordon, Jason Wu; artist Rebecca Moses; international polo player Nacho Figueras and his photographer wife Delfina Blaquier; plus entrepreneurs Chris Collins, Rob Smith and recording artivist Mila Jam. The presenters streamed from a variety of locations, including their homes, recording studios, fashion ateliers, and a polo farm.
And, the Popular Fragrance of the Year 2020 was accepted by Kim Kardashian West for Kylie Jenner by KKW Fragrance (Nude).
“Congratulations to all of the 2020 Fragrance Foundation Awards winners and finalists. During these unprecedented times, it is more important than ever to connect as a community and to celebrate those who bring passion, artistry, and creativity to the fragrance world. Thank you for tuning in and joining us for the first-ever webinar of The Fragrance Foundation Awards” said Linda G. Levy, President of The Fragrance Foundation.
