The Lifetime Achievement Award:
Perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena took home the award for his contribution to the fragrance industry.
Born in Grasse, France, Ellena followed in his father’s perfumery footsteps, entering the industry aged just 17, before moving to Switzerland to take up the first ever place at Givaudan’s Perfumery School in 1968.
His lifetime’s experience in perfumery has made him one of the most accomplished perfumers in the industry, with best sellers including Bulgari’s Eau Parfumée, Cologne Bigarade’s Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, Eau de Campagne by Sisley and Van Cleef & Arpel’s First edt.
He has worked as Hermès’ exclusive in-house perfumer since 2004, where he has been instrumental in creating some of the house’s most popular fragrances including Terre d’Hermès, Kelly Calèche and the Garden collection, comprising Un Jardin en Méditerranée, Un Jardin sur le Nil and Un Jardin après la Mousson.
