The 36th annual FiFi Awards (think of them as the Oscars of fragrance) were last night, and all the winners are in.
It’s no surprise that perfume monolith Coty walked away with five awards, and the recipient of Fragrance Foundation’s Hall of Fame Award was none other than Vera Wang, who has launched quite a few fragrances with Coty, most notably Vera Wang Princess.
But we’re curious what you guys have to say about the awards - do you think Intimately Beckham was the most appealing women’s fragrance of the year? Do you think Daisy Marc Jacobs was a favorite women’s “luxury” perfume? Have you ever even smelled Vera Wang Princess?
So here’s a list of who won in which category, courtesy WWD.

Vogue has joined with the Fragrance Foundation to bring you one of the best contests we’ve ever heard of:
The Fragrance & Film Festival.
In honor of the 36th Annual Fifi Awards (it’s like the Oscars for perfume,) Vogue is calling upon the creative masses to shoot a short (2 - 3 minutes!), inspirational film about any of the participating fragrances for a chance to win a trip to the 2008 Fifi Awards in NYC (where the film will be shown to industry execs and celebrities), national exposure on ShopVogue.tv, and, oh yeah, $10,000.
The winner will be chosen based on “creativity and the ability to express the brand identity of the featured fragrance.”
And which fragrances can you choose from for inspiration? Missoni, Gucci by Gucci, Paris Hilton’s Can Can (this is no joke), and Usher for Men and Usher for Women.
Oh, one catch - you cannot make fun of the fragrances in any way, so no to everything that popped into your head when you read “Can Can.”
Hopefuls must submit their shorts by May 1.
But you can send us your entry at any time.
