“Annette Green is truly a passionate icon in the fragrance world and 'Spritzing to Success' shares so many wonderful moments in our industry’s glorious history.”

Green says, “I thank the Perfumed Plume Committee for this accolade. It is a joy to be honored along with such gifted writers, all of whom elevate the art and craft of fragrance through their perfume stories.”

Lapsansky and Leigh's review of the book says:

“It reads like a who’s who, an encyclopedia, memoir, and anthology all rolled into one narrative—not to mention Ms. Green’s witty, ‘tell it like it is’ style. Frank and outspoken at times, Ms. Green lifts the lid, doesn’t mince words and showers love and a deep sense of caring on all aspects of the fragrance world."
