The Art and Olfaction Awards has announced the finalists for its 2018 event during Esxence, in Milan, Italy on April 5, 2018.

Established in 2014 by the Institute for Art and Olfaction, the award is given to four perfume creators, one experimental scent project and two individuals for contribution to scent culture and small-batch perfume.
