Uh…wow.
Surprise?
Good for the ladies (Salome) ugh for the men (Sauvage).
Yep!
Hey R.
Aren’t we ripe for a NST Readers Award?
Just sayin’!
P
Ha, just as soon as I get me an intern
LOL! Ok I ‘d volunteer but my schedule is full too.
Cheers!
Salome winning Best Women’s Perfume gives me hope that finally, the winners are not dictated by the size of the advertising budget but rather the merits of the perfume itself. I still won’t wear Salome and would prefer not to smell it either from the bottle or on someone because it is too cuminy / skanky to my nose but apparently, it is very appealing to a lot of basenotes readers!
