A quick reminder that we're now accepting entries for the 2016 Prix Eau Faux — you have until 10 April to come up with yours! The winner gets a $200 gift certificate from our friends at Arielle Shoshana. We have only 5 entries so far, so the field is wide open! And don't forget, you can send in as many entries as you like.
Le Prix Eau Faux 2016 ~ now accepting entries
We are now accepting entries for the 2016 Prix Eau Faux, our not-annual contest to reward excellence in “creative fragrance writing”, e.g., fake ad copy.
We have assembled a distinguished panel of judges for this year’s contest, including several of us from Now Smell This (me, Angela, Erin, Jessica and Kevin), plus this year’s guest host, Kafka from Kafkaesque.
The judges will select a group of semi-finalists, and then the readers will vote on a grand prize winner.
What’s the point?
We love reading gloriously over-the-top fragrance ad copy…
And the winner is…
....Kalyazin, who gets the Tauerville Flash scent from the Tauerville Avent giveaway. Congrats!
Tauer Perfumes Advent 2015
December 1st…it’s time for the annual Tauer Perfumes Advent calendar! Andy Tauer is doing things a little differently this year because sometimes, yes, there are more important things than perfume:
I decided that I will not do a draw for fragrant goodies every day during the advent days Dec. 1- 24, but that I will also do some charity and that I will invite my readers to do the same. You know: What we experience these past few weeks/months/years is – I think- an epoch-making change, and maybe an invitation to consider relooking at some things.
But there is a prize today, and we are very pleased to host the first draw…
And the winner is…
...leechiyong, who takes the Aftelier Tango mini from our last contest. Congrats!
