Here are Fragrance Foundation UK’s nominees for what are often referred to as the two most important FiFi categories: Best New Female Fragrance and Best New Male Fragrance. Ladies’ list first (links are to my own reviews):
It almost goes without saying that this category and the one below don’t reflect the interests of blog-reading scentusiasts; I suspect very few people reading these words would agree that Boss Jour Pour Femme was one of the best scents of 2013! Nevertheless, I always find it interesting to see what the establishment chooses to single out for recognition and it’s heartening that Jour D’Hermès has made it onto the list. Jean-Claude Ellena’s omni-bouquet picked up the top French FiFi, so perhaps he’ll be lucky in London too.
Surprise, surprise, there’s absolutely nothing earth-shattering in the list above. But the Armani was more than pleasant, so I wouldn’t object if its name emerged from the winner’s envelope.
The winners will be announced tomorrow, 15th May.
Over to you: which of the above are your favourites?

PS – A brief reminder that I’m hosting an event with author Alyssa Harad in London on Tuesday. For more details, please click here. But don’t delay: as I type these words, there are only three tickets remaining.
