Perfume-ophiles everywhere have been waiting with bated breath for the official announcement of the 2011 FiFi Awards nominees, and now they're here. Each year, The Fragrance Foundation holds its equivalent of the Oscars, awarding the best in perfumery in categories ranging from luxury to indie to mass market.

This year, my picks are Candide, a gorgeous jasmine fragrance from the amazing Mandy Aftel, and Anthropologie's beautiful collaboration with Le Labo, but there are several great scents competing. Want to see if your favorite scored a nomination? Then just keep reading.

The nose knows, and yesterday, a few fragrances were awarded at the Fragrance Foundation's annual FiFi Awards. This year's winners were announced last night, with the coveted Hall of Fame award going to Calvin Klein's standby, Ck One ($60). To find out what other scents got top honors, just read more.

FiFi Awards the Fragrances of the Year

BellaSugar — Wed, 21 May 2008 11:00:10 PDT

Last night, beauty editors, celebrities, and cosmetics executives gathered in New York to celebrate the FiFi awards. It's often called the Oscars of the fragrance industry, which says as much about its prestige as it does about who's honored. It's rare to see small perfumes win Fragrance of the Year; instead, the Fragrance Foundation gives awards to scents with broader distribution. (So in that case, it really is like the Oscars!)

The women's fragrances of the year are Daisy Marc Jacobs, Intimately Beckham Women, Prada Infusion d'Iris, and Christian Lacroix Rouge (created with Avon). Do you think these perfumes deserved the honors? I personally can't understand the wild popularity of Daisy Marc Jacobs - it just doesn't do anything for me - but it looks like this scent is just getting bigger and bigger.

Love It or Leave It: Halle Berry's Revealing Halston Dress

Noria Morales — Thu, 26 May 2011 07:20:49 PDT

It's no secret Halle Berry has great curves, in all the right places. It's no secret that she's one of the most beautiful, youthful, 40-something women we've ever seen. We love it when Halle goes sexy, and this dress takes sexy to that whole other level, the level that made us stop and think, "hmmmm. . ." She looks ultrasvelte in this Halston dress, which she accessorizes with simple, strappy black heels and gold earrings. It shows off her flawless body, but would you prefer to see Halle in something more sophisticated?

Halle Berry Shows Her Winning Abs in a Revealing Dress at the FiFi Awards

Allie Merriam — Thu, 26 May 2011 09:18:00 PDT

Halle Berry flashed some strategic skin last night at the FiFi Awards, held at NYC's Lincoln Center. She posed for photos on the red carpet decked out in a revealing black Halston dress, and later caught up with friends like Nate Berkus and Mary J. Blige inside. It was an evening dedicated to honoring the best of the fragrance world, and Halle walked away with the Celebrity Fragrance of the Year statue for her work building a mini-empire with her Halle by Halle Berry, Pure Orchid, and Reveal. Fergie had husband Josh Duhamel on hand to pick up her New Celebrity Fragrance of the Year prize due to her 2011 release Outspoken by Fergie. Her bright yellow BCBG Max Azria dress added a pop of color to the proceedings, though Halle's main man, Olivier Martinez, wasn't able to attend.

Three Lovely Natural Perfumes From Mandy Aftel

Miriam Lacey — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 07:10:00 PDT

This year, the Fragrance Foundation has nominated three of Many Aftel's fragrances for prestigious FiFi Awards. Mandy's fragrances are truly all natural, and most of her ingredients are organically sourced, so wearing them is a very different experience if you're used to synthetics the way I am. I gave all three of her FiFi finalists (Candide, Honey Blossom, and Lumiere) a wear, so to see what I thought of each, just keep reading.
