It is always so interesting to see what is selling in other countries. I have no knowledge of the Valentino or the Carolina Herrera fragrances, but I’m off to try to find out more about them. Interesting list of contestant fragrances. Not surprising that some seem to be Spanish brands. Worth checking outl.
I don’t think these awards programs are necessarily good barometers of what is selling, although it’s true that they tend to reward popular mainstream scents.

I have not smelled it myself, but I’m sure lots of people like it 🙂
