    Thank you very much,R and everyone! Your support means a lot to me.
    And this is probably the only time ever my name will appear in the sentence as that of Justin Bieber. :)

    Victoria’s article deserves the prize. I read the article yesterday when went through the FiFi list. It’s a well written article and she spots on right when she writes about the scents we encounter in our everyday life through our household products.

    Yay Victoria, who more than deserves the award! And here’s hoping that Dahlia Noir gets some love – it’s a unique, lovely scent, one I truly like. And I don’t hate Prada Candy either….
