The Annual Fragrance Foundation Awards Finalists Breakfast

Taking place in the beautiful ballroom at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel at the Time Warner Center in Columbus Circle, the newly blossoming Central Park foliage set the backdrop for the morning.Kicking off the announcements and hosting the event was Christine Baranski, known for her work in The Good Wife, Mamma Mia, and The Birdcage. Adding some morning humor and her own flair to the event, Christine announced finalists for several categories, including Perfume Extraordinaire of the Year and Bath and Body Line of the Year.Guests dined on delicious breakfast offerings from the Mandarin Oriental catering team while eagerly anticipating the announcement of the finalists for the premiere category of Fragrance of the Year. The winner of this category was announced at the 2013 Fragrance Foundation Awards on June 12, 2013, which Empire Entertainment also produced.During the stage presentation, the Empire team swiftly worked with a display merchandiser to transform the ballroom foyer in to a chic and surprise display of the Fragrance of the Year finalists bottles. Upon event departure, guests were encouraged to sample the select and esteemed fragrances.Empire Entertainment served as the overall production company for the Finalists Breakfast, managing all aspects of the event including stage decor, AV management, decor supervision, stage and show management, script writing, signage, and catering management.
