Givaudan CEO Gilles Andrier commented: “I am honored to present this award on behalf of TFF to Calice Becker in recognition of her enduring success as a perfumer whose creations have marked their era, along with her extraordinary leadership and dedication to the art and science of perfumery.”

Linda G. Levy, President, TFF said: “We are proud to honor Calice Becker for all she has achieved in perfumery and continues to contribute to its future. Every perfumer’s work is special; with this award we recognize those masters of the craft whose creations have made a significant contribution to the fragrance industry.” Calice Becker’s creative success is exceptional in its depth across the United States and Europe where she has created such iconic fragrances as J’adore by Christian Dior, Intoxicated by Kilian, Velvet Orchid by Tom Ford, Dylan Blue by Versace, and Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger. She has received numerous international accolades, notably the French ‘Médaille de Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et des Lettres’ for her contribution to the arts through perfumery.

Accepting the award, Becker said: “I am honored to be in the company of the extraordinary perfumers who have received this award before me, and encouraged in my continued dedication to the future of perfumery. I wish to express my gratitude to The Fragrance Foundation for their impressive work in supporting perfumers and inspiring the world through fragrance.” Calice Becker received her perfumery training at Roure in Grasse in 1985, leading her to Givaudan where she has passionately contributed as a perfumer for over 35 years. She was appointed Director of the Givaudan Perfumery School in 2017 where she leads the training and development of future perfumery artists. Calice combines her dedication for sharing her knowledge of creation as well as her constant quest to enhance the creative process, for example through the development of algorithms and creative interfaces for future perfumers. Calice has also been the President of the ‘Société Internationale des Parfumeurs Créateurs’ for more than four years, where she campaigns to safeguard the art of fragrance creation.

“Luscious. Tempting. Insatiable. Lost Cherry is a full-bodied journey into the once forbidden, a tempting dichotomy of playful, candy-like gleam on the outside and luscious flesh on the inside.” – TOM FORD

KEY NOTES

Black cherry, bitter almond oil, griotte syrup, Turkish rose, Peru balsam, roasted tonka. A robust oriental gourmand, Lost Cherry is a study of contrast. It is about that place where innocence intersects with indulgence, where sweetness meets seduction. For its opening, Lost Cherry captures the tantalizing perfection of the exotic black cherry fruit, its ripe, glistening flesh dripping in cherry liqueur, with a teasing touch of bitter almond. As the fragrance unfolds, dichotomous accords—sweet and tart, bright and dark—burst forth. Griotte syrup evokes the maceration of voluptuous cherry fruits, while Turkish rose and jasmine sambac deliver an earthy depth. Lost Cherry reaches fantasy-inspiring levels of insatiability for a magnificent finish, with a rich blend of sensual Peru balsam, roasted tonka, sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar.

PACKAGING

Tom Ford Private Blend Lost Cherry Eau de Parfum debuts in bottles designed with exquisite detail. Drawing on the fragrance’s exploration of worlds both sweet and seductive, the cherry-red 50ML flacon is encased in translucent pink glass, outlining the signature Private Blend silhouette inspired by the sleek architectural look of a chess piece. The pink label is punctuated with red type. The grand 250ML decanter is designed to graciously furnish the user’s home, and features the same playful use of red and pink, with a cherry-red cord tied around the neck of the bottle. A richly textured cherry-red set-up box completes the luxe packaging of both the 50ML flacon and the 250ML decanter.
