 On June 10, 2021,The Fragrance Foundation Awards Winners 2021 were announced through a dedicated webinar hosted by President Linda G. Levy and  Chairman of the Board Jerry Vittoria, President of Fine Fragrance Worldwide to a global audience of fragrance lovers, journalist and industry notables. The prelude was a visually stunning film by Louie Schwartzberg, L.A. Director and Cinematographer known for his breathtaking time lapse photography, who was introduced by Oprah Winfrey. The presenters were the “who’s who” of fashion, music and film and included a radiant Isabella Rosselini, Andre Leon Talley (who is creating his own scent), Narciso Rodriguez, Christian Soriano, Thom Browne, Kylie Minogue, Alicia Keys, Marc Jacobs (whose perfumes were a big winner today) and the remarkable Dolly Parton, who donated over a million dollars to research that helped fund the Modina Covid-19 vaccine’s development. Each presenter shared personal stories of their love of perfume  and their thoughts on fragrance. A common theme throughout the Award Ceremony was a new awareness of the healing and transformative power of scent emerging from the dark days of the pandemic.

The Fragrance Foundation honored Calice Becker, Vice President Perfumer & Director of the Givaudan Perfumery School with the Lifetime Achievement Perfumer Award; and Philippe Benacin, Chairman and CEO Interparfums.
