We were astounded by the quality of the submissions we received in this, our inaugural year. With blends coming in from 14 countries and 5 continents, there was an abundance of intelligence, originality and creativity on show.

Indeed,  every single submission had something special about it, something unique, and something worth celebrating. Honoring the work on show, our judges put a lot of thought and lot of positive intention into each score. The finalists represent the highest scoring perfumers, in a submission pool of extreme quality.

Please join us in congratulating our finalists. They worked hard, their blends are stellar, and they are deserving of our recognition.
