We are absolutely overjoyed and incredibly honored to share the exciting announcement of the Jasmine Awards 2024 finalists! Dive in to explore the complete and fragrant list of nominees that showcases the pinnacle of creativity and talent in the fragrance industry.

The Fragrance Foundation U.K. emphasizes: ‘Established in the UK in 1990, the Jasmine Awards stand as the most esteemed journalistic accolades within the beauty sector. These awards celebrate and honor the exceptional skills of journalists and visualizers who undertake the challenging journey of articulating the intricate art of perfumery through both words and visuals, providing a richer understanding of scent.

Each year, a brand-new panel of judges is assembled, featuring distinguished professionals from various fields such as journalism, literature, fashion, lifestyle, public relations, and fragrance consulting. This year, the panel is expertly chaired by a highly regarded figure in the fragrance industry, ensuring that the evaluation process is comprehensive and insightful.

This year, we are thrilled to announce that Catherine Mitchell has once again taken the helm as our Head Judge. The Fragrance Foundation U.K. notes, ‘There are two primary reasons Catherine Mitchell has been our Head Judge for six consecutive years—her unwavering commitment to enhancing both quality and creativity, paired with an extraordinary passion for the art of fragrance. With a career spanning three decades at International Flavours and Fragrances (IFF), a global leader in fragrance innovation, biosciences, and sensory experiences, Catherine has honed her expertise across various business sectors and continents. She passionately advocates for education and communication to inspire the current generation of creators, consultants, and consumers, ultimately cultivating the next wave of talent in this vibrant industry.’
