It’s that time of year again – Fragrance Foundation Awards are coming up on June 17th. The organization already presented its Editorial Excellence Awards at its annual breakfast – but the big black-tie event is yet to come. There’s also a celebrity host this year – Emmy winning actor Alec Baldwin. (shown above, right).

Here’s a few highlights from the upcoming festivities:

• John Demsey, group president of The Estée Lauder Companies, (above, left) is this year’s Hall of Fame honoree.


• Annie Buzantian, master perfumer at Firmenich, will receive the Perfumer of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award. 

The 2015 Fragrance Foundation Awards will take place (ticket info here) at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall in New York City. Model, and newly-minted fragrance designer, Anja Rubik will co-chair.
