It's been dubbed the Oscars for perfume, and with a star-studded finalist list that was recently announced via webinar, the awards this year welcomed a few new categories.
Eschewing the annual honorees of Hall of Fame, Game Changer and Lifetime Achievement Perfumer, according to WWD, the Foundation’s new categories recognise genderless scents and product format innovation.
