FiFi Awards Stages Perfume Factory, Builds on Lounge Format

For the 36th annual FiFi awards on Tuesday night, the Fragrance Foundation repeated last year's successful concept by holding a short award presentation first and following it with dinner in a mingle-friendly, lounge-style area, and added a few new twists.

Some 1,000 guests poured into the Seventh Regiment Armory, a spacious setting that allowed the event’s producer, Dalzell Productions, to keep the award ceremony and the subsequent dinner in one contiguous space. Wrapping around a third of the space, ceiling-high Venetian curtains sectioned off the simple set and seating area for the 40-minute award show. Following the presentation, the curtains revealed the rest of the space—a lavish arrangement of lounges in an area designed as a playful take on a perfume factory. Images of pipes, bottles, flowers, and cogs decorated the walls of the Armory, much of which was designed to work with the interior of the venue rather than cover over it.

“Last year we decided to shake things up and went from sitting at tables of 10 to lounges. It was very well received, so we repeated it with some changes,” explained the Fragrance Foundation's president, Rochelle Bloom, who worked with the production team to plan the event. MORE >>

FiFi Awards Try New, Mingle-Friendly Format

If you are looking to free guests from being stuck for hours at dinner tables yet still raise money, read closely. The Fragrance Foundation showed some nifty ideas at the FiFi awards last Thursday, May 31.

Back in April 2006, the foundation was in the same position—another year, another awards show where everyone wanted the cocktail party to go on and on but instead had to sit quietly in the same place for hours watching a never-ending program. Change was in order, said foundation president Rochelle Bloom, so she formed a search committee and put out bids for new ideas.

“What our industry loves is the networking. Even though they are competitors, they get great satisfaction out of schmoozing,” Bloom said. MORE >>
