The short version. Perfume houses, niche and home-fragrance brands, fragrance retailers, duty-free operators and distributors in Hong Kong enter the Asia Best of Best Awards' 75 fragrance and perfume categories; a house with cosmetics can add the World Beauty Awards. Founders enter the Golden Entrepreneur or Golden Women Awards. From USD 299; entries close on 15 September 2026.

Hong Kong has long been the fragrance trade's door to China — distributors, travel retail, department-store counters — and it has developed a craft layer of its own: independent perfumeries curating niche houses, Hong Kong perfumers composing for local and regional customers, home-fragrance and candle brands that sell online across the Greater Bay Area and beyond. Regulation is light; the market is discerning; and the trade in both directions across the boundary shapes every business in it.

The Asia Best of Best Awards' 75 fragrance and perfume categories cover houses, brands, retailers and distributors at Asia level; founders are recognised through the Golden Entrepreneur and Golden Women programmes; houses that also make cosmetics can consider the World Beauty Awards.

What the jury will ask a fragrance business

What do you make or sell, and where? Range, stockists, channels — Hong Kong, travel retail, cross-border, the Greater Bay Area. Is it growing? Sales, doors or online revenue over a defined period, indexed if needed. Do customers return? Loyalty, repeat rates, reviews. Is it good? Sourcing, quality and compliance standards. What is new? Ranges, packaging, retail concepts, sustainability, with dates. Distributors should present portfolio, market growth and retail-partner performance.
