Juicy Couture???? Yikes!
Well … my 17 y/o daughter has this one and it's o.k. on her but to win an award??? It's not that good.
🙂 Dawn
My sentiments exactly.
At least Terre D'Hermes is up there!
D, if you look back at Fifi winners over the years, the winners are almost never what perfumistas would pick 🙂
I figured either Juicy Couture or Princess would win for Luxe, but thought Black Orchid would take Nouveau Niche.
Terre d'Hermes did very well in the awards this year — they won in almost every country that gives a perfume award.
thanks for ur great blog!!
please only one question
whats the difference between niche and luxe parfums?
Regards
The distinction is just in exclusive the distribution is. “Niche” means it is carried in 250 or fewer stores, Luxe can have wider distribution.
thanks for ur quick reply!! i was trying to figure an explanation based on quality…hehe i know understand
regards
Hmm, juicy couture…maybe it won just for the bottle design.
Plus the amount of money it's made, I think that had alot to do with the win.
It is very rare that something wins a Fifi that isn't already a big seller, true!
