The Perfumed Plume has announced the 2017 finalists in the Perfumed Plume Awards for Fragrance Journalism. They are listed below.

The submissions were voted upon by an independent panel of judges whose ballots were tabulated by the outside accounting firm, Sperduto Spector & Company. The finalists were determined by the highest percentage scores received based on the criteria for each category.

The book, ‘Bad Girls Perfume. Tips and Tales,’ by Sarah Colton, will receive the 2017 Fragrance Book award.
 
The rest of the winners will be revealed on April 6th at the awards ceremony and celebration in their honor at the Society of Illustrators in New York City.
