2012 Indie FiFi Nominees

What an amazing response! 36 “Indie Fragrance” entries representing 30 brands arrived at the office of The Fragrance Foundation by UPS, FedEx, mail, messenger and even hand-delivered by the perfumers themselves.

“Indie fragrance brand entrepreneurs are clearly excited and enthused to participate in the 2012 “Indie” FiFi Award Category in partnership with Elements Showcase and have the chance to win the FiFi Award along with the $10,000.00 congratulatory check generously sponsored by Givaudan to provide an extra measure of encouragement and support to these talented, creative free-spirits.”

- Mary Ellen Lapsansky, Vice President of The Fragrance Foundation

“Independent brands and the people behind them are driving innovation. Surely all the nominees are deserving of accolades. We are proud and thrilled to shine the spotlight on them next month.”

-Frederick Bouchardy, co-founder of Elements Showcase
