Over 1,000 members of Cosmetic Executive Women gathered in the Grand Ballroom of the Warldorf Astoria today for the 2013 Achiever Awards – a celebration of the accomplishments of the beauty & fragrance industry’s finest female executives.
Among this esteemed group of honorees was the first consumer ever to receive the Great Idea Award for Fragrance Innovation – our very own Karen Dubin! Karen was distinguished with this award, sponsored by IFF, for the impact she’s made on the fragrance industry by following her dreams & visions and creating Sniffapalooza! What started as a get-together with a few perfume-loving friends, grew over the years to an international event-based organization for fragrance enthusiasts. Perfume is celebrated as art, perfumers as artists.
She gathered together people who love fragrance, gave them the ability to connect with one another and perfumers, expanded their knowledge, and helped them move their enjoyment of fragrance to new levels. “I’m really winning this for all the other consumers out there. This wasn’t my job – it came from pure passion!” said Karen, who is thrilled to have been awarded this honor.
Kudos, Karen! We’re so proud of you!
