The 30th Annual FiFi Awards
When the curtain goes up at Avery Fisher Hall in the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York City on June 4, The Fragrance Foundation will continue its long tradition of recognizing excellence in the fragrance industry with its 30th annual FiFi awards.
All fragrances introduced by eligible companies in 2001 could be entered. Fragrances introduced by a member company of the Foundation were eligible to appear on this year’s ballot. Non-member companies wishing to enter their fragrances were required to pay an entry fee based on gross sales. Entry forms completed by the submitting companies also identified and validated each product’s distribution category. The entry forms were notarized and returned to The Fragrance Foundation.
Ballots were prepared listing all entries by distribution category and mailed in early March to all Fragrance Foundation members and retailers. Recipients were asked to vote to determine the top ten men’s and top ten women’s fragrance finalists in each category. The ballots were returned to Grant Thornton LLP, an independent accounting firm, for tabulation. The FiFi winners and finalists will be announced at the 30th Anniversary celebration on June 4. The top ten in each distribution category are also eligible to be judged for the Packaging and National Advertising Campaign awards, which will also be presented at the June 4 event.
This year, The Foundation has created the Essence of Charisma, a new award to increase public awareness of the glamorous nature of fragrance. It will present the first Essence of Charisma award to a celebrity who is the “personification of spontaneous and irresistible energy which has the power to capture the imagination,” according to The Foundation.
The organization enlisted editors from America’s leading magazines, newspapers, television and the electronic media to join a prestigious jury, which participated in a three-part voting process to determine the honoree. The jury met on May 9th in the Conference Centre at The Fragrance Foundation to determine the winner.
The award will be a concave, clear crystal globe holding a second, smaller green sphere. The award was conceived by Dinand Design and produced by Pochet USA.
