The shortlist has been announced for the 2019 Fragrance Foundation Awards. Fascinating choices, as ever, judged by experts (for some categories), the public (for ‘people’s choice’ votes), and members of The Fragrance Foundation.
How many have you smelled…? We’re delighted that many of these appear in the Discovery Boxes on sale on our website. Scroll down to find out how you can get a whiff of what’s impressed the judges this year – and watch this space, because we’ll be live-tweeting the results on the night when picking up our own Jasmine Award 2019, for The Scented Letter ‘The Scented Alphabet’ edition.
