Fragrance Creators Association (Fragrance Creators) will proudly present the 2024 Eric Bruell Distinguished Service Award to Dr. Robert M. Weinstein, Ph.D., at its Annual Spring Dinner tonight. The event is hosted this year at Westmount Country Club in Woodland Park, New Jersey.
Dr. Weinstein has had a distinguished career spanning four decades and has been a pivotal figure in the flavor and fragrance industry. He began his journey in 1983 and has largely focused on synthesizing flavor and fragrance materials. In September 2012, he was appointed President & CEO of Robertet North America. Throughout his extensive career, he has consistently championed industry leadership and scientific rigor, serving on the boards of the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) and Fragrance Creators, and holding chair positions for both.
Cynthia Reichard, Co-Chair of the Fragrance Creators Board of Directors and Executive Vice President at Arylessence, Inc., commended Dr. Weinstein’s leadership, stating, “Bob exemplifies leading by example. His passion for science, his commitment to strengthening the industry, and his contributions to student education have left an indelible mark on our field.”
Since 1991, Fragrance Creators’ Spring Dinner has been a significant event for honoring individuals who have advanced the industry. This year, Dr. Weinstein’s commitment to ethical leadership and scientific integrity has rightfully earned him the Bruell Award.
Farah K. Ahmed, President & CEO of Fragrance Creators, praised Dr. Weinstein’s influence, noting, “Bob’s unwavering dedication to science and ethical leadership, as well as his proactive approach to challenges make him an exemplary Bruell Award recipient. His integrity has profoundly shaped the values of our association and guided the fragrance industry toward a more responsible and prosperous future.”
