The Onde collection! I am amazed – I found those distinctly underwhelming apart from the bottles…
Underwhelming has never stopped a fragrance from winning an award 🙂
What was the Onde collcetion’s competition?
Hard to believe there wasn’t something better nominated.
I’m afraid I don’t know…the French Fragrance Foundation only put up a website a couple weeks ago, and I haven’t seen a list of the nominees anywhere (including on their site).
Touche!
