    Courvoisier is a shocker. Talk about the little engine that could!

    Not that I have any faith in the FiFis…I think the winners are determined by how many bottles are sold.

    It is unusual to see a one-off niche scent like that in the Fifis.

    Narciso got cut, poor guy. Usher is still there though, if that is any consolation to you 😉

    i was at the Fifi finalists breakfast that morning of the announcement, and in our goody bag was a nice sampling/assortment of many of the finalists' fragrances. so far my favorite is versace, which is a soft, subtle “skin” floral with a hint of sweetness.

    Not my cup of tea, the Versace, but glad you got it free if you love it!
