    Go Jour D’Hermes and Rihanna! Out of ALL those scents, they’re the only two I can actually vouch for. Wow, have I not smelled SO many fragrances. Oh well, probably not missing much. Haha. : D

      Yep! And I will root for Jazz Club because everyone says it’s good, but have not smelled it yet. But the ones I root for never win :-)

    Wow! Aerin Lauder’s Amber Musk is a finalist. I just bought this and really haven’t spent a lot of time with it. I admire her a lot, so I wish her good luck!
