TOP ARTISAN FRAGRANCES OF THE YEAR AWARDS

ARTISAN PERFUME AWARDS

An annual Juried Awards competition rewards the Top Artisan, Niche, and Custom Fragrances of the Year.

Products from across the country were entered into this competition and sent to a panel of judges located throughout North America, who reviewed and voted on which they consider to be the “Top Artisan Fragrances of the Year.”

In addition, the three “Top Artisan Perfumer” award winners from this competition are given the title, “Official Fragrance Partner of the TASTE AWARDS.”

2016 FRAGRANCE AWARDS: SELECTED JUDGES COMMENTS

Sonoma Scent Studio’s fragrances are exquisite. They transport me back to many previous lives.

 

Joann Natalia AquinoJudge

El Jardin Secret Nu – Nostalgic with new tones perfect for women on the go.

Sonoma Ying & Yang – Exciting, light with zen notes

Bonnie CarrollJudge

Little Black Dress –Buttery florals that are thick and waxy. A light spice adds to the rather rounded perfume. The fragrance thickens as it develops creating a warm and enrapturing and herbaled scarf that moves from the fuzzy to more of a leather. The little black dress is a seductive stunner.
