In other words, consumers have already voted with their wallets. <br /><br />The niche fragrances are in another category, called the "Experts' Award". The long list is based on the number of points of sale of a fragrance in France (under 50 I think), which means it includes exclusive lines as well as smaller brands. The products are smelled "blind" by a jury of journalists, bloggers and evaluators. Of course this doesn't guarantee that the most interesting fragrance will win, but it does level the playing field.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-63127086141904041722013-02-18T22:59:31.664+01:002013-02-18T22:59:31.664+01:00I'm sprayin' and I'm sleepin', I&#...I'm sprayin' and I'm sleepin', I'm sleepin' and I'm sprayin'....<br />You've reviewed some exciting launches during 2012, none of which are here. There has been a lot of buzz about the Fifis in the Indies category on the American Indies blogs, so I'm not surprised to see your post, it fits right with the others....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888328097434089820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-56488811029015844062013-02-18T19:46:40.439+01:002013-02-18T19:46:40.439+01:00Susan, thanks for pointing out the potential for c...Susan, thanks for pointing out the potential for confusion. I've edited the post accordingly: these are of course the 2012 launches.

It seems more like a list of new releases. Although Sexy Graffiti was a re-introduction.<br /><br />I'd vote for L'Eau de Chloe out of that list.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14270911675241391462noreply@blogger.com
