It probably won’t surprise you to learn this, but Wednesday night’s 75th annual Fragrance Foundation Awards smelled amazing.

The occasion, held in the David H. Koch Theater in New York City’s Lincoln Center, had its own custom scent, developed by one of the event’s honorees. The theater’s lobby was perfumed throughout the evening with Rose Fields, created by master perfumer Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud—the longtime nose behind fragrances for Bulgari and Louis Vuitton. The scent was designed to transport those assembled to his home in Grasse, France, which is renowned for the quality of its floral ingredients. For his decades of work and hundreds of fragrances, Cavallier-Belletrud was recognized with one of the evening’s highest tributes, the Lifetime Achievement Award.

“I am honored to have been recognized by the Fragrance Foundation as this year’s Lifetime Achievement perfumer,” he said onstage, in front of a record-setting audience of just over 1,000 people. “It’s the greatest joy of my life, as well as my passion, to create fragrances that take you on a personal journey.”

The scents that took home trophies have certainly moved people since they were introduced last year. A handful of winners in the consumer choice categories moved the public to vote in droves and inspired some of those in attendance to raucous applause.

“Fragrance may be a formula, but it’s all about a feeling,” said the night’s other honoree, Givaudan CEO Gilles Andrier, who entered the foundation’s Hall of Fame. Below, all the scents that felt—and smelled—like winners last night, plus where to buy them for yourself.
