Winners of the Art and Olfaction Awards 2022 receive The Golden Pear #aoawards2022
The winners of Art and Olfaction Awards 2022 ceremony took place at the World Perfumery Congress in Miami on July 1, 2022. Led by Founder Saskia Wilson Brown, the 8th Art and Olfaction Awards marked a new collaboration between the Art and Olfaction Awards and the World Perfumery Congress (presented by the American Society for Perfumers). I was there for the ceremony when the winners were announced and it was exciting to experience the Art and Olfaction Awards not just report about it. -Michelyn Camen, Editor-in-Chief
