Is it just me or? … the Chanel Eau Chance Fraiche is very similar to DG Light Blue. I like crisp, love it actually, but Fraiche did nothing for me. And I haven't smelled P Diddy's because I found his ad campaign so repulslve that I refuse to even recognize its existence.
Someone described it to me as Chance w/ a Light Blue top note, which I think is pretty accurate.
I find it a little awful… “Cosmetic Exective Women” selecting among their finalists Sean John & Tom Ford – both had horrendous ad campaigns and as a woman I preferred to ignore their existence!!!!!
LOL — I didn't look at it that way! But CEW is just a trade organization, and the awards aren't meant to celebrate women's contributions in the field OR as commentary on how women are portrayed.
