Good luck to all the nominees. There are more than a handful of talented perfumers who I know in person I consider colleague and friends and I'm really hopeful that one of them will win! Wouldn't it be refreshing if someone who actually designs and/or makes their perfumes by hand will be one of the top 5 winners. It will be a stepping stone for independent and artisan perfumery.
