The Fragrance Foundation Reveals 2022 Award Finalists
The Fragrance Foundation has named finalists for its 2022 Awards, including its Lifetime Achievement Perfumer honoree: former Dior nose François Demachy.
Demachy, the former perfumer-creator of Parfums Christian Dior, is known for his skillful incorporation of raw ingredients in his perfumes, according to a statement. His body of work includes Dior Sauvage, Joy by Dior and Dior Homme. According to data from The NPD Group, Dior Sauvage is the top-selling men’s fragrance in the U.S.

“We are thrilled to celebrate the creativity and artistry of Mr. Demachy, whose work has made an indelible impact on the world of fragrance and beyond,” said Linda G. Levy, president of the Fragrance Foundation, in a statement. “Mr. Demachy is a visionary who has inspired many with his dedication and innovation, and has been lauded for his milestone success in men’s fragrance in the U.S. with Sauvage.”
The perfumer announced his retirement last year, and was succeeded by Francis Kurkdjian.
Previous Lifetime Achievement Perfumer honorees include Givaudan Perfumery School’s Calice Becker, IFF master perfumer Dominique Ropion and Firmenich’s Olivier Cresp.
On April 1, the foundation revealed it would honor Macy’s Inc. chairman and chief executive officer Jeff Gennette with its 2022 Hall of Fame Award. The remaining award winners will be named on June 9 at Lincoln Center in New York City. Here, the full list of the Fragrance Foundation’s 2022 Awards finalists.
