Well, meh. I already posted on BdJ. Their categories are peculiar. And who says Prive is for “men?” And we clearly have different ideas about what constitutes “luxe.”
I was very surprised by the winners myself. And yes, luxe isn't used the way we would use it at all.
I was so surprised at the win by Euphoria, but then I spoke to an SA at the local Kaufmanns. She told me that ever since it was launched, it was the top selling perfume in her store.
I'm not sure if sales have anything to do with wins, but it did sort of satisfy my curiosity!
P, I really thought SJP Lovely would win in that category!
