  • Hoping Galop d Hermes wins ! I also loved the Phillipe starke bottles
    Lots of great perfumes here. I own Radio Bombay by Durga and love it
    Good luck Cafleurebon hope you win
    You are my favorite blog

  • This is so exciting! Congratulations to all the nominees – especially to Sarah and Lauryn.❤

  • Actually, the whole consumer’s choice vote was depressing. the current ones even more. Though I have no idea what Bath & Body Works stuff smells like, but it invokes the idea of sweetly clean, which just doesn’t make olfactory sense to me.

  • Hikmat Sher Afridi says:

    I’ll vote for the post under the section of EDITORIAL EXCELLENCE IN FRAGRANCE COVERAGE FEATURE ONLINE, the post by CAFLEUREBON.COM – For Auld Lang Syne: Perfumes of Other Times.
    Congratulations on nominations for the contest.

  • I hope both win in a tie!
    Cafleurebon has the best writing and I want to smell like a Parisienne and now I can

  • Your articles are more informative. Specially fragrance or cologne related articles I read. Your article is good for young perfume lovers. Thanks for this article.
