Announcing the 2020 Perfumed Plume Awards Finalists
We're SO happy to share some good news: announcing the finalists for the 2020 Perfumed Plume Awards. "While we would normally gather at MANE Gallery to celebrate with a glass of bubbly, this year is obviously a different time," said Co-Founders Mary Ellen Lapsansky and Lyn Leigh.
PERFUMED PLUME ANNOUNCES 2020 JUDGING PANEL
We are delighted to announce a wonderful panel of expert judges who are graciously giving their time, expertise and enthusiasm to reviewing each and every perfume story. No doubt about it, they will be burning the midnight oil! This year, we are honored to include a particularly dedicated group of fragrance aficionados in perfume making, perfume marketing and perfume manufacturing.
We are delighted with the many submissions received for the fifth PERFUMED PLUME AWARDS FOR FRAGRANCE JOURNALISM. On this 5th anniversary, we would also like to pay tribute to ALL the journalists, writers, bloggers, webzine editors who have published and entered their wonderful, entertaining, informative, enlightening perfume stories. During this time we have received many stories not only from the mainstream beauty media but also, surprisingly, from many unrelated publications.
Mary Ellen Lapsansky, Co-Founder, Perfumed Plume, LLC : “Many kudos to the creative fragrance writers whose dedication to this art form continues to elevate our spirits, open our minds and take us on fantastic scent journeys.”
“We applaud 4 years of winners,” comments Lyn Leigh, Co-Founder, Perfumed Plume, LLC “and can’t wait to find out who will win in 2020.”
