Seeing as I provided you with a fair amount of pre-FiFi coverage, I thought I ought to give you the list of winners from Thursday night’s Fragrance Foundation UK awards ceremony. I am mystified as to how anyone could think that Invictus and Si are the best perfumes of 2013, but there we are. Opinions are pointless if we don’t permit them to vary from one individual to the next. I was most interested in the result of the Independent Perfume category and I was pleased to see that the prize went to Byredo for 1996. A worthy winner. Bottega Veneta Pour Homme did well to triumph in its own, niche-ish category, and I was pleased that the judges decided to recognise the strength of Tom Ford’s ‘orient’ collection by giving an award to Plum Japonais. Here are the winners in full:
