    Who won best niche, Nicki Minaj? Seriously, how uninspired your perfume journey must be to think Amber Oud was the best of 2012. They should disclose the list of “judges”.

    Kilian, won for Indie? Seems like the judges were out of touch, or something else was going on….

    Wow, harsh! I think maybe they need to differentiate between indie’s who started in their kitchen and make their own perfumes, and those who are able to hire perfumers and have a bigger budget. I think Kilian makes beautiful fragrances and I love his Facebook sample mailings. I also agree that it’s maybe not fair for him to be competing against small budget, creative perfumers.
