Well, here’s some good news! Last night The Fragrance Foundation UK held the annual Fragrance Foundation Awards and they announced the winners of the Jasmine Awards (the Oscars of fragrance writing). I was nominated in three categories and was thrilled to be awarded the Jasmine for Best Practical Guide for my article Material Focus: Cashmeran. This is my sixth (!!!) Jasmine Award and it’s still a complete surprise that anything I write is worthy. Thanks to all that continue to read this blog and for those who have supported me along the way.

Huge congratulations to the other winners: Suzy Nightingale (Literary Award, Short Piece), Shannon Peter (Creativity Award) and The Perfume Society (Special Recognition Award). All of their work is incredible and their awards so well deserve. You can check out the winner’s list and the winning articles here.
