At a time we’re all hanging on to every scrap of good news, we had reason to squeal with true joy when The Fragrance Foundation announced this year’s Jasmine Awards Finalists…
Often referred to as ‘the Oscars of the Fragrance Industry’ – an annual event in which amidst celebrating the industry as a whole, The Fragrance Foundation also take time to give thanks to those who write about and discuss fragrance in engaging and innovative ways. We are utterly thrilled to have made the final line-up again this year with SEVEN nominations, and even more proud to be sharing that space with so many talented individuals.
Here are the pieces that are in the running – we’ve put a link to each article so you can read it in full, something we’re so happy to be able to do with The Scented Letter Magazine now, having taken the decision during lockdown to make this publication available to everyone. Happy reading!

The Jasmine Awards 2022 shortlist announcement was part of the seven-day scent-fest of The Fragrance Foundation National Fragrance Week celebrations, the Jasmine Awards ceremony itself is due to be held in May with all winners being announced during the glam-filled affair, when the scent of success (and oodles of perfume, obvs) fills the air.
Until then, we raise a glass to ALL the worthy finalists, in what must have been very difficult decisions for the judges to make. We’re utterly thrilled to have made the finals, and are especially honoured to be among such great names in the industry. Cheers!
