      Why is what so serious? I think Kevin was also pleased to see models, if that was what you meant?

        They’re not smiling, at all. Guessing that is what was meant?

            Oh, I meant the ones pictured above, on the non-model covers.

            Oh, gotcha…funny I did not even notice! I was focused on how not-cover-material VB looks. That is not a nice shot of her.

        Victoria and the actress both look so serious.It could be nice if they smiled instead.The serious look is just too much now.

    Anecdotally, it seems like W and Allure are the magazines to get for fragrance coverage these days. I’ve subscribed to W for years and I actually think their perfume coverage is getting better, or maybe I’m just paying more attention. But it does seem a lot of fashion magazines are not covering fragrance much at all these days. I should go back and do some kind of study based on your posts.

      Allure seems to have more than many, and maybe W does too…that one Kevin does, and admit I don’t keep track over time. I’ve never read it.
