It's been dubbed the Oscars for perfume, and with a star-studded guest list of 900, The Fragrance Foundation Awards 2019 announced its winners Wednesday night in New York City.
And while it was a celebratory night, which included Tom Ford officially joining the foundation's hall of fame, Fragrance Foundation chairman, Jerry Vittoria got down to business and issued a warning about waning category sales in the U.S.
“We’re at a crossroads. Many American consumers are increasingly confused by conflicting information and some have been led to believe fragrances are actually dangerous,” said Vittoria. “We must continue to demonstrate that our products are safe and have been, and that we’re doing everything possible to identify sustainable long-term solutions that include all the ingredients of modern perfumery, both natural and synthetic. This is a clear path to our continued business growth, and as important as any award that’s given tonight.”
