The 2025 Fragrance Foundation Awards ceremony was held last night at The David H. Koch Theater at Lincoln Center. The star-studded salute celebrated excellence and innovation in American fragrance across 19 categories from beautifully crafted scents to creative packaging. 

Two awards of distinction, the Hall of Fame and the Lifetime Achievement Perfumer, were awarded to Ralph Lauren, Executive Chairman and Chief Creative Officer of The Ralph Lauren Corporation, and Daniela Andrier, Master Perfumer of Givaudan, respectively. 

Linda G. Levy, president of The Fragrance Foundation, commented, 

“This is the fragrance industry’s biggest night. It’s the one night when the fragrance community from the big, bold names to the independent creators come together to celebrate the creativity and craftsmanship of our industry, and the remarkable achievements of the people behind the scents.”

A sold-out crowd of 1,000 gathered to celebrate the winners that made 2024 a spectacular year in fragrance, with a guest list including fragrance founders and perfumers, plus fashion designers, artists, celebrities, and creators.
