After the London chapter on 12th March, perfume connoisseurs would love to get a whiff of Jasmine Awards 2014 In Australia
Since it began in France over 20 years ago, the Jasmine Awards has always honoured and heaped praise on journalists for articles on the subject of fragrance. The nominees brought in are those who communicate their specialist knowledge of fragrance to the public as well as promoting the further discovery of fragrance to their readers.

But first, let us tell you what made special the Jasmine Awards 2014 held in London.
