New York’s Lincoln Center Alice Tully Hall played host to the Fragrance Foundation of America Awards (FFA) last night, where the industry paid tribute to the industry’s creative achievements and those specifically of Puig Ceo Marc Puig, who was inducted as the Hall of Fame Honoree for 2017.

Appropriately, the Chairman and CEO of Puig was presented with this prestige award by designer Carolina Herrera, who co-chaired the event.

 

She was also in good company alongside an audience that also comprised Karlie Kloss, the face of Carolina Herrera Good Girl, and Nick Youngquest and Luma Grothe – the faces of Paco Rabanne Invictus and Olympéa respectively.

 

PUIG SHARED AWARD WITH FAMILY AND EMPLOYEES

Commenting on the award, Elizabeth Musmanno President of the FFA said: “The Fragrance Foundation Awards is the most important night of the year for the fragrance industry. We were excited to honour industry titans, recognise new rising stars, and celebrate an amazing year with our celebrity guests and presenters.”

 

Reciprocating these words, Marc Puig said: “It is an honour to be recognised by The Fragrance Foundation with the Hall of Fame award. I share this acknowledgment with the entire Puig family and all Puig employees, whose dedication to the shared values of passion, people and performance continue to push us ever forward.”

 

Puig’s strong performance across 150 countries has resulted in substantial growth and revenues of €1,790m in 2016, with its success stories centred around a combination of owned brands.

 

These include Carolina Herrera, Nina Ricci, Paco Rabanne, Jean Paul Gaultier, Penhaligon’s and L’Artisan Parfumeur, plus licenses such as Prada, Valentino and Comme des Garçons and celebrity fragrances.
