    This fifi awards are as irrelevant as ever. It boggles my mind why bloggers and the like continue to cover this event as though these awards serve anything or anyone other than the sponsors. And to cap it off, the as-of-late disappointing Kilian line is given top honors for perhaps their worst fragrance ever, Playing with the Devil? And to call it an indie release?

    Please stop giving this terrible organization coverage. It’s an embarrassment to the integrity of perfumery.

      If the Fragrance Foundation posted a definition of indie this year, I missed it, but they used to define it by nothing more than the number of stores that carried the scent…obviously, not how most perfumistas would define it.

      The Foundation is an industry trade group, & don’t agree that it’s an embarrassment to the integrity of perfumery, but their focus is again obviously very different to that of perfumistas & certainly most Fifi winners are not what I’d pick.
