Why, cruel Universe, Why? Who are these women? Did they not ever smell their Mother’s perfumes? Or their Father’s? Maybe the Hermes….. The rest of it is banal. What grown woman would wear something called Pink Innocencia? It sounds like one of those awful child pageants. Please, if anyone can defend any of these choices, shout out! Do these awards have anything to do with reality?
This is generally how the awards lists go. You could argue they’re more in sync with reality than you & I, since these are generally the perfumes that sell 🙂
But that’s like giving the Nobel for Literature to Dan Brown!:(
Yep! Sort of like how the Oscars work.
Yes, but what sells may not really have anything to do with what smells the best! Many consumers do not have easy access to the many jewels of fragrance that are at these same price points. I choose to stay out of touch with mass consumer reality! Signing out from Perfume Never Never Land……..
Good Luck to Hermes and Modern Muse. Have worn both of these and love them both for so many different reasons.
I really tried to get into Tory Burch’s fragrance, but there was nothing that “stood out” about it.
