The Fragrance Foundation Awards Breakfast will be hosted by stage and screen actress, Christine Baranski, known for her portrayal as Diane Lockhart in The Good Wife, Maryanne Thorpe in Cybill, and Dr. Beverly Hofstadter in CBS television's The Big Bang Theory.
Next – the industry will get ready to attend the 2013 Fragrance Foundation Awards, on June 12th at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York City, where winners in all categories will be honored.
