Fragantica Fragrance Awards

Yesterday, Fragantica released their list of top fragrances for 2012. Selections were based on a collection of reader votes within the Fragantica community. I was excited to see Hermes take the top 2 slots in Best Shared Fragrances with Voyage d’Hermes and L’Ambre des Merveilles, both of which are extremely well-made. Disappointingly, Serge Lutens’s Santal Majuscule only made number 5 in the shared category, but judging buy the other finalists, I suppose I should celebrate that he made it to any slot at all. The most remarkable finalist was Fame by Lady Gaga, which in addition to taking first place in the women’s celebrity category, also ranked third in the overall women’s, beating out Chanel’s Coco Noir!

Be sure to check out the finalists below, as well as my review of Coco Noir. In honor of winning the Best Men’s Fragrance category, today I will be posting a review of Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf, which in my opinion is also a great choice for the shared category.
