The 2011 fragrance awards season ~ the big winners

Posted by Robin on 1 June 2011 8 Comments

Bleu de Chanel

The 2011 fragrance awards season is mostly over,* and we have a winner: Bleu de Chanel, which took a whopping 8 awards, including nods from Italy and Canada plus two awards each from France, the US and the UK.

The second place winners were Gucci Guilty and Voyage d'Hermès, with four awards each.

Tied for third place: Love, Chloé and Balenciaga Paris.

See also: the Perfume Awards page.

*Not including Basenotes and Spain’s Academia del Perfume — I do not know when their awards will be announced for 2011.

    Voyage did not make the head of critcs but worn the most part of awards. So did Bleu!! Very interesting, huh?

      I think Voyage was for the packaging, but of course I’m just guessing. Bleu, I’m guessing, is exactly the sort of scent fragrance industry insiders like.

        I preffer the fragrance from Voyage to the packaging, wich is more beautiful on the photos.
        I tottaly agree about Bleu. I’m not a big fan of Chanel’s masculine line; women’s line is far more good.

    Bleu got the awards… But is it selling? I’d rather have Miyake’s blue than this generic thing any day…
    And I do not care much for voyage either.

      I have no idea if it’s selling — I’d love to know! The name Chanel must sell a fair amount of fragrance, even if the juice is dull, right?

    I thought Bleu was pretty awful, but I’m glad to see Balenciaga Paris in there – I have come to really like that one. It’s a sneaky devil.

    And of course I was happy to see Love, Chloe in there, well deserved. Balenciaga is not sold in Hungary, I have no clue why, so I cannot comment. I may have to go on a hunt to try to find it and test it.
