The organizers of the Perfumed Plume Awards for Fragrance Journalism have opened submissions and are welcoming entrants for 2021.
 
The Perfumed Plume Awards showcase writers whose published editorials or books provide a broader awareness and appreciation for fragrance through informative and entertaining “scent-centric” stories. 
 
Co-founders Lyn Leigh and Mary Ellen Lapsansky both agree that “despite all the ups and downs of this year, including wearing face masks, no force alive can vanquish the positive, satisfying experience gained as you breathe in the words of an uplifting, enlightening, entertaining and thoroughly engaging fragrance story. Stories that illuminate the magic and mystery of scent as written by some of the most talented journalists on earth. Thank you for sharing your brilliance!”
