* Grant at Basenotes reminds me that you do not have to be a member of Basenotes in order to vote!
Yay NST!
Woohoo! Congratulations,and very well-deserved.
Thank you all! We're very chuffed 🙂
Congratulations NST blog staff.
Job well done, and the Basenotes awards certainly provide an interesting window into the psyche of the consumer public.
My mother wore Tabu . . . didn't know people still purchased it. I read a recent MUA review of Mauboussin which described it as “Tabu swirled around in a dirty ashtray,” the first reference I've seen to Tabu in almost decades. The mere thought of my mother's old Tabu makes me slightly nasesous . . . odd for someone who unabashedly indulges in excessively sweet (though rarely fruty) scents.
Again, an interesting if somewhat limited window into the consumer consciousness.
Thanks for this blog. It is a great place to take one's nose and wander in lazy moments.
Award is well deserved.
Congratulations!
Wonderful news, Robin and staff — and well deserved!
Congratulations Robin and the other writers of NST and the bloggers of course !!
Good job Robin! I know that you have more than a fulltime job with Now Smell This and so many people waiting for what will come each day 😀 xo
Congrats! I didn't even know they took votes over on Basenotes (I only go there occasionally). Interesting list of winners; I wonder how many total votes go into the tally.
Congratulations, R! You're the best. 🙂
Hey, Robin — congratulations. You run an excellent, informative blog that I enjoy very much.
congratulations to all of you at NST- you rock!
Again, many thanks to everyone! And to March — congrats to you guys too!!
In an ideal world, the NST blogmistress and writers would all be filthy stinking rich (stinking most deliectably, of course, of whatever the heck you wanted, money now being no object whatsoever)! In a field of fierce competition, your award iis that much more meaningful. Congrats.
Congratulations to Robin and the whole team!
🙂
May you keep receiving awards and enjoying making the blog.
Kind Regards
P.
And I must say that justice was served.. Narciso Rodriguez For Him and Gucci Pour Homme II take the best new fragrance for men spots.
As soon as the Narciso Rodriguez is available in Buenos Aires… I'll snatch it! 😛
As always, richly deserved. Where would we all be without you?
Perhaps a bit richer in cash 🙂
But certainly not in pleasure.
It's a rare day that I don't stop by NST. Congratulations!
Completely second that!
Glad we agree on the ideal world, LOL…
