The Fragrance Foundation honored the finalists and the winners of its 2014 Fragrance Foundation Awards during a gala on June 16, 2014 at Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center in New York City.
Leonard Lauder, chairman emeritus of The Estée Lauder Companies, presented the Hall of Fame Award to his friend, Michael Gould, the former chairman and CEO of Bloomingdale's, who was named Hall of Fame honoree. Carlos Benaim, master perfumer at International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF), was honored with the Perfumer of the Year Lifetime Achievement Award. (Read more about the awards in Perfumer & Flavorist's forthcoming September issue).
