The Fragrance Foundation of Germany has announced the finalists for the 2007 Duftstars awards, the German version of the Fifi awards for best fragrances. The nominees are:

Men’s Prestige
Calvin Klein Euphoria Men
Yves Saint Laurent L’Homme
Burberry London for men
Prada Prada Man
Hermes Terre d’Hermes
(via cosmoty.de) You can find the rest of the categories on the German Fragrance Foundation website. You’ll note that some of these fragrances were introduced in the United States some time ago, and I can only assume they are nominated here because they were recently introduced in Germany. You can see last year’s winners for the UK, Spain and Germany here, or take a look at last year’s winners in the US.
The Fragrance Foundation in the US doesn’t usually announce their semifinalists until February, by the way.

I'm strutting around my office whispering “Duftstars” in an SNL Sprockets voice.
Just hope it doesn't get you fired…
Chypre Rouge is considered a men's scent? It's very sweet on me, I'm having trouble imagining a man wearing it.
Werent Wall Street and Chinatown released in 2004 and 2005 respectively ?
I am fairly sure SL considers it unisex, but since that isn't a category at any of the Fifis, they had to stick it somewhere…
What's wrong with sticking it in the women's category? 'Wow, never thought of that!'. LOL!
Do you find it that feminine, J? Not sure I'd know which category to put it in myself.
It's rather sweet. Certainly not so masculine that I would put it in that category.
