                           THE ART AND OLFACTION AWARDS

    Callings are perfumers worldwide!!! Have you created a fragrance that will take the world by storm? Well if so, why not attempt to win the prestigious Golden Pear Award.

   The Art and Olfaction Institute is NOW accepting nominations for THE ART AND OLFACTION AWARDS of 2015!

   This award is created to support independent, artisan and the
 
experimental perfumer.
 
If you are a natural/niche/artisan perfumer, now is your time to shine and answer the call of duty by submitting your creative fragrance to a very worthy institution.

  The last day for submissions will be on Friday, December 19, 2014.

  All submission(s) of fragrances will be accepted that were released to market between January 1 and December 31, 2014.

  To submit, your fragrance needs to demonstrate these three categories Artisan, Independent and Experimental. The submission process is a two part component with first an online application form and then a physical package containing vials of the fragrance(s).

  THE ART AND OLFACTION AWARDS celebrates creativity, innovation and excellence in the global and artistic world of perfumery.

  A new award will be added in 2015 and that is the Sadakichi Award. This award was created to highlight scent work being done in the context of other creative practices.

  THE ART AND OLFACTION AWARDS is only awarded to just five perfumers a year. So, the process is highly selective, highly competitive and it is designed to raise interest and awareness for active independent artisans from around the world.

  THE ART AND OLFACTION AWARDS is made possible by partners, including founding partners LuckyScent/Scent Bar, The Goethe Institut, AutumnSeventy and Frangrantica.

  In 2015, they are joined by Esxence Milan, Bern University for Applied Science, CaFleureBon and Fragrance Belles-Lettres Magazine.

  If you are ready to submit your artisan fragrance, then Congratulations! You are well on your way. Please send to ART AND OLFACTION AWARDS
c/o The Institute for Art and Olfaction 3023 W 6th Street  Los Angeles, California 90020 USA.

FRAGRANCE EVENT

                                          
 ESXENCE: THE SCENT OF EXCELLENCE

   The Academy of Arts and Science aka the OSCARS meet your match with ESXENCE: The Scent of Excellence to debut on March 20th, 2014 through March 23, 2014.

   ESXENCE: The Scent of Excellence takes place once a year in Milan, Italy. To me, this is the mecca of all fragrance events worldwide. Not only is it a venue to give exposure to well established niche perfumeries but a place for new and exciting perfumeries to display and be welcome at such an event who value the ART OF PERFUMERY.

  This year ESXENCE will take place at  La Triennale di Milano which is an international cultural institution that house mega-events and exhibitions will add to the excitement and vigor of such an elaborate showcase.

 It always gives me goose bumps just talking about how this exhibition helps the niche and artisan fragrance industry in so many aspects.

 ESXENCE is home to Milan, Italy the capital to the fashion industry for centuries but now it is home to a new world...the fragrance industry that has a budget of billions. This international mega event collaborates with Italian and international distributors, the press, buyers and Italian and international retailers.

 I am happy to call ESXENCE:  The Scent of Excellence a friend. It always so wonderful to receive an email from Lara to ask if I will be a part of this extraordinary event. My reply is always YES!!!

 Fragrance Belles-Lettres is a WEB FRIEND to this event by displaying the OFFICIAL logo and writing about it in this magazine.

It is my biggest ambition to personally go to ESXENCE and bring my world to Milan by showcasing what I have to offer to this amazing industry but until that happens, I bring it to you...my readers.

ESXENCE has a host of information about visiting, hotels, public transportation and even how to be an exhibitor for 2015! So, for that you will simply go to www.esxence.com if you plan to attend.

What I will do is give you information on some brands to aspect at ESXENCE: The Scent of Excellence. This is not the complete list but a few that I admire and will discuss in upcoming issues of this magazine.

So good luck, have a great time and if you did not get an invitation to the OSCARS, don't worry I did not either but know that you are always welcome at ESXENCE: The Scent of Excellence.
