Event Recap: #SniffaHolidayFete – Scents & Tastes of the Season on Madison!

Unusually balmy mid-December weather made it the perfect Sunday afternoon to enjoy Sniffapalooza’s Holiday Fete! We strolled up Madison Avenue, discovering lovely new scents along the way.

Our first top was Lladró, a stunning gallery of finely detailed porcelain sculptures founded in Valencia, Spain. After sharing the company’s history and creation process, Cristina Egido introduced us to Lladró’s lovely new line of candles with Mediterranean-inspired scents. We sipped champagne and indulged in fresh fruits and Neuhaus chocolates, as we made our gift choices with a special Sniffapalooza discount and extra treats.

We continued along to Annick Goutal, where Francoise Alessi welcomed us to their newest boutique with a very special pairing of cocktails inspired by fragrance. After a brief overview of the brand history, we sampled the libations as we sniffed our scent strips. Sweet cookie treats were also served, making for a true multi-sensory experience. We enjoyed gift bags, discounts, and special treats with our Annick Goutal gift purchases.

What a great way to explore fragrance and take care of some gift shopping too!

Happy Holidays!

THE COUNTDOWN IS ON!

DEADLINE TO SUBMIT AN ARTICLE FOR THE

PERFUMED PLUME AWARDS™

IS DECEMBER 11TH 2015

www.perfumedplume.com

 WHO HAS WRITTEN THE BEST SCENT STORY OF THE YEAR?

That’s the question on everyone’s mind!  Who will win the very first Perfumed Plume Awards™ for Fragrance Journalism at the very first celebration party in early April 2016?  Winners will each receive a check for $1,000.00 and a special ‘plume’ award.

A CALL TO ACTION FOR CREATIVE WRITING!

While we love to read about all the new must have designer or celebrity scents, fragrance can and does inspire a million fascinating, enlightening, intriguing, thought-provoking stories written by incredibly talented writers that go above and beyond.  That’s what the Perfumed Plume Awards™ is all about. So what kind of scent story will win?

Will it be about how scent transports the reader to another time, another place?

Or one that explains the how and why fragrance and fragrance alone can instantly evoke a childhood memory, a first love, a perfect wedding, a mother’s touch?

Will it be a story that demystifies the scientific ‘alchemy’ of fragrance for the everyday reader who just happens to love chemistry?

Or a story that leads the reader on a fragrant voyage of discovery to find the rarest of florals and herbs in far-flung places?

Will it be a scent story that by merely describing a rose by any other name captures the essence of this most classic, historic fragrance note.

Please be sure to visit www.perfumedplume.com for details on how to enter before the deadline of DECEMBER 11th 2015. 

Entrants may submit no more than 1 article per award category.  There is a $35 non-refundable processing fee for each article submitted.

 About The Awards

The Perfumed Plume Awards™ for Fragrance Journalism is a new recognition of creative storytelling that enlightens, engages and educates the consumer on the art and craft of fragrance. This independent initiative has been conceived and is spearheaded by experienced fragrance industry insiders Mary Ellen Lapsansky and Lyn Leigh. The goal is to establish an all-inclusive awards program in the U.S. that specifically targets the many talented writers and visualists who bring to life the craft, the inspiration, the emotion and the sensory journey that is at the heart of fragrance creation. The Perfumed Plume Awards™ will encompass all channels of consumer communication.

With thanks to our Founding Sponsor MANE; additional sponsors Perfumania, Parlux Ltd. and SGD; Media Sponsors Perfumer & Flavorist & GCI Magazines
