    I know I’ve said this before, but it irks me to see flankers win awards. I know this is a mainstream publication, but really? A flanker? GO smell some indie perfumers, Marie Claire.

      It does not bother me at all if a flanker wins, although seems to be it would be better if it was a good flanker. But good fragrances only rarely win awards.

        I think I’m just bitter that Coco Noir was such a disappointment and it’s winning so many awards. I’m not a crazed flanker hater, LOL.

          Oh, that’s fine — it’s reasonable to be disappointed when less than good fragrances win awards. I’m so used to it now that I don’t expect anything else.

    The packaging award was a quite respectable choice.

    I suspect that Indies do not purchase many tables at FIFI banquets and do not advertise in Marie Claire.

      Agree — Florabotanica deserves it.

    I’m still waiting for Florabotanica to hit the super discounted shelves and I will buy one just for the bottle.
