Hi all!
Last week, I was invited by Victoria to attend a very prestigious Award Presentation Ceremony by Sa Sa. The ceremony was held at Main Concourse, LG1, Sunway Pyramid Shopping Centre on 1 October 2010 attended by various media representatives, trade partners and over 30 famous bloggers in town with one universal objective. That is to celebrate the awards presentation to the winners of the 6 fragrance categories voted by the Malaysian consumers which emerged after 38 days weeks of intensive promotional campaign.

The stage for the ceremony.
Since its inaugural campaign back in 2008, Sa Sa Colors & Fragrance Fair Awards this year has attracted trade partners the likes of DKNY, ITF, L’Oreal PCI, P&G Prestige and Marina De Bourbon with its hottest line-up of fragrance submissions. A total of 38,436 votes were received this year from all Sa Sa outlets as well as from the dedicated event microsite @ www.sasa.com.my/fragrancefair, as compared to about 32,000 votes received last year.

This campaign began on 27 August 2010 with 12 nominated fragrances in the running for big industry titles, namely Best Women’s Fragrance, Best Men’s Fragrance, Best Couple Fragrance, and Fragrance of the Year 2010. As for the newly introduced Colorscentsations Award, best matched fragrance and “color look” from the three nominees; namely the sweetness and warmth of Happiness look, the coolness and funkiness of Free Spirit look and the combination of independence and modern in the Confidence look. These three different make-up looks are set to match with the three special fragrance nominees to bring out the best aspiration and feel for one another.
The panel of judges which comprises local celebrities such as Amber Chia (Top Model), Sazzy Falak & Nazril Idrus (Celebrity Couple), Awal Ashaari (TV Host) and Owen Yap (Award Winning TV Host) , contributed 40% of the points that went to determine the winning fragrances. The remaining 40% was contributed by the general public while the balance 20% was obtained from the results of fragrance sales tabulated up until 30 September 2010.
