We are delighted to welcome entrants and open submissions to the fifth year of the 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.
