How odd! Wasnt black opium one of the most derided fragrances in living memory – can’t remember seeing a single positive review of it ?
The Fifi awards, other than the specialist ones shown above (consumer & experts) are given by professionals in the industry. They rarely mesh with what perfumistas would pick, and they also consider factors other than just the juice itself.
Yay for Valentino Uomo – a nice, relatively inexpensive maintream fragrance.
I am clapping for Corsica Furiosa
