The Sense of Smell Institute will once again sponsor the Science of Fragrance Award at the International Symposium on Taste & Olfaction/AChemS Meeting, July 21-26, 2008 in San Francisco, CA. The $1,000 award is given in recognition of the best presentation of research relevant to companies concerned with the creation and marketing of fragrances. An additional $1,000 payment is available for a “white paper” prepared by the winning researcher on the work presented, explaining the background, a review of pertinent literature and relevance of his/her work to the fragrance industry.

Twenty-seven entries have been received this year. Entries will be reviewed by the AChemS Awards Committee plus two ad hoc judges representing the Sense if Smell Institute with experience in the fragrance industry. The winner of the 2008 Science of Fragrance Award will be announced shortly after the Symposium concludes.
