Announcing the Media Finalists in the 2016 Canadian Fragrance Awards

 

Cosmetics’ annual Canadian Fragrance Awards not only celebrates the year’s best fragrance launches, but also recognizes the accomplishments of Canadian beauty media with two award categories: Best Print Editorial and Best Broadcast/Online Editorial.

Each entry was evaluated by a panel of four judges on the following criteria: how well the piece educated the Canadian consumer; passion for the art of fragrance; the writer’s understanding of the subject; editorial flair; and art/design elements.

This year, we received nominations from 11 media outlets, and we’re pleased to announce the shortlisted contenders. The two winners will be honoured at a gala dinner this spring:
