[Luxus+ Magazine] The François Coty Prize rewards its 14th winner

Fabrice Pellegrin, from Firmenich, wins the 14th François Coty Prize, succeeding Shyamala Maisondieu, who won in 2019. A look back at this award crowning the best French perfumers.

The François Coty Prize rewards a perfumer for his or her entire career. The winner is chosen by an exceptional jury of six renowned perfumer-creators. Prior to this, all selected candidates must present three perfumes of their choice, which are studied in a blind test before the final deliberation, which took place on December 2 at the Hotel Lutetia in Paris.

The event is produced by the François Coty Association, and each new edition highlights a perfumer-creator. The winner receives a trophy signed by Lalique. Since 2000, the François Coty Association has rewarded the greatest names in French perfumery such as Jean Guichard, Sophie Labbé, Christine Nagel or Maurice Roucel. This prize aims to reward the audacious perfumers who will inspire the creations of tomorrow. The ceremony also commemorated the 100th anniversary of Émeraude from François Coty, a mythical fragrance with a voluptuous amber sweetness.
