Some of you will recall that in May, I published the list of nominees for the FiFi UK 2012 Hall Of Fame. The winner was determined by votes that were cast during the award ceremony and the three finalists turned out to be No 5 (Chanel), Eau Sauvage (Dior) and Angel (Mugler). Many of you will already be aware that the latter came out on top.

I decided it would be interesting to compare these results with the tastes of Basenotes readers, so I conducted a simple poll of my own on the site’s forum. It goes without saying that this wasn’t a scientific survey, but it’s worth noting that in this case, Chanel took the gold medal, Mitsouko won silver and Angel didn’t even feature in the Top 3.

Speaking of Basenotes, please click here to be taken to my latest article on the site: an interview with Nathalie Helloin Kamel of Parfums Issey Miyake, in which she answers a question about whether we might ever see the return of Feu D’Issey

Persolaise.
