Fragrances must launch in US by 2023

Fragrances submitted for consideration in the Fragrance Foundation Awards must have launched and been sold in the United States during the eligibility period, which spans from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. This ensures that only new and innovative fragrances, introduced to the market within the past year, are eligible for recognition.

Eligible fragrances will be considered in various categories, including Women's Popular, Women's Prestige, and Men's/Universal, among others. By focusing on recent launches, the awards aim to celebrate the freshest and most exciting developments in the fragrance industry, and to provide a benchmark for excellence and innovation.

This criteria also allows the fragrance industry to recognize and reward the achievements of pioneers, "trendsetters.".. and game-changers in the field.

The Women's Popular category is reserved for fragrances priced under $100 for a 3.4 oz/100ml or closest size, catering to budget-conscious consumers who crave affordable yet high-quality scents. But then, the Women's Prestige category is for fragrances priced over $100, targeting discerning perfume enthusiasts who seek luxurious and elite fragrances.

This pricing distinction acknowledges the vastly different expectations and preferences of these two consumer groups, "allowing fragrance brands to tailor their offerings to meet the unique demands of each segment." By recognizing excellence in both categories, the Fragrance Foundation Awards provide a comprehensive assessment of the industry's breadth and depth... celebrating achievement across the entire spectrum of price points and consumer needs.
