Didn’t vote for those ones.
Sorry!
I’m really surprised that Spicebomb won for best packaging. It smells wonderful but that grenade bottle is disturbing imho – too much like the real thing, much more realistic than the Flowerbomb bottle.
I guess that’s what was appreciated? I don’t know. I admit I can’t remember any other spectacular men’s bottles last year.
I can’t remember any spectacular men’s scents last year. Wasn’t a fan of Spicebomb, don’t want my man smelling of Red Hots, just me though! I dig spice but geez. Over the top, imo.
For what it’s worth, I am a fan of Madonna’s Truth or Dare. A trashy version of Fracas, but it works. 🙂
I did not like the Truth or Dare Naked flanker. ugh.
Have to go look up the Spicebomb packaging. I don’t remember it being that special.
