The Institute for Art and Olfaction is now accepting submissions for their second annual Art and Olfaction Awards. Submissions for perfumes released during the 2014 calendar year must be sent by December 19; the awards ceremony will be in Los Angeles on April 17, 2015.

Awarded to just five perfumers a year, The Art and Olfaction Award is a highly competitive and highly selective award, designed to raise interest and awareness for active independent, artisan and experimental perfumers from all countries. Our hope is that by shining a spotlight on perfumery’s most outstanding creators, we - in turn – will help generate support for independent perfumery, as a whole.

Awards will be given in three categories: Independent, Artisan and Experimental. You can find details, including submission procedures, judges and online forms, at the Art and Olfaction Awards website.
