Without early writings, including Sanskrit texts and references in the Koran and Bible, much of perfume's history would have been lost. Today, the written word continues to be a potent tool for communicating the power, beauty and excitement of fragrance, which was recently celebrated in New York by the Perfumed Plume Awards.

The winners were:

Founded by Mary Ellen Lapsansky and Lyn Leigh, the event honored excellence in writing in both digital and print formats. Each winner was presented with a check for $1,000.00 from the Perfumed Plume Awards and a brushed chrome “Apogee” pen by Cross, the official “Plume” award.

“Congratulations to the Perfumed Plume Awards for a very successful event that shines a spotlight on creative storytelling exploring the art of fragrance,” said Westly Morris, senior vice president – fine fragrance at MANE and founding sponsor. “One art form writing about another art form –an inspiring blend.”

“The Perfumed Plume is a wonderful way to challenge a writer’s skill in capturing the many facets of fragrance, ultimately leading the consumer to a newfound appreciation of scent and a trip to the fragrance counter," said Jeb Gleason-Allured, editor in chief of Perfumer & Flavorist & GCI. "We’re pleased to be associated from the very start.”
