    My personal favorite for the luxury category is Miss Dior Le Parfum. Would love to see a review of it sometime.

      My favorite for that category got knocked off the list from the semi finals. I haven’t even smelled the Dior Le Parfum, sorry!

    What is the difference between the “luxury” and “prestige” categories? They both seem to be full of offerings by well known brands that are likely to be found at department store counters.

      Just how many stores carry the product. I haven’t been able to find the official definitions this year, but the cutoff used to be 250…so luxury would have been less than 250 doors, prestige more than 250 doors. No idea if that’s still what they’re doing, but it would seem to fit. There used to also be a category for 50 or fewer doors, but they seem to have replaced that with the “indie” award even though that’s not really the same thing.
