2008 Young Perfumer of the Year named
Date: 05.20.2008
The French Society of Perfumers recently awarded the International Young Fragrance Designer Award to 30-year-old Jennifer Jambon. The 20-person jury (composed of perfumers, a writer, a journalist, a fashion designer, a wine specialist and more) chose Ms Jambon’s winning composition from amongst 83 entries. After training at the ISIPCA and several different fragrance-composition companies (Firmenich, Givaudan, Mane and IFF), Jennifer is currently working in Chili. This year, participants had to design a perfume inspired by a line from Henri Bosco (see News for 10/12/07). The winning perfume, ‘Promenade,’ is green and floral, with tonalities of violet and moist flowers, and a musky chypre base. The competition, which takes place every other year, has discovered many great perfumers, including: Jacques Cavallier (1982), Patricia de Nicolaï (1988), Jean Kerléo (1965), Harry Fremont (1983 and 1984), and, more recently, Guillaume Flavigny (2002).
