Art and Olfactory awards 2019

This year the art and olfactory awards where held in Amsterdam.

The Art and Olfaction Awards are an awards mechanism celebrating excellence in independent, artisan, and experimental work with scent. Our annual public event – the awarding of the Golden Pears – takes place in locations around the world.

This year was the first time that the winning fragrances were spread live in the audience, before announcing the winner.  This was a very nice and exiting way to getting to know who the winner is. Fragrances were spread bij Jorg Hempenius in his role of aromajockey.
The end speech was from Caro Verbeek, who had some statements about scent. The audience got there hands together for her quote: “We have to stop calling it olfaction art, it’s just Art”
