Each year, Taste TV has awarded artisan perfumers from across North America with “Best Ofs” in categories such as Best Aroma, Best Ingredients Combination, Scent Seductiveness and Artistry. ÇaFleureBon has announced the Gold, Silver and Bronze Winners every year on our site, (click here for the Winners of the First Annual Artisan Fragrance Salon 2012) as tribute to the American Perfumers honored. These are the same perfumers we feature in our Profiles in American Perfumery series, and many of these talented olfactive artists have won CaFleureBon Best of Scent Awards (2010-2014).
At the 7th annual Artisan Fragrance Salon this year, the panel included three familiar judges; Mary Orlin of Winefashionista.com, Former Contributor Felica Hazzard and author of Fragrance Belle Lettres and former Sr. Contributor and Editor of TheScentedhound.com, Steve Lindquist.
