Its good but its not THAT good. Or maybe the competition was just week. I have lost count of how many times I have seen Terre D'Hermes listed as a “winner”.

Are the AP scents widely available in the UK? They are not here, and maybe that is why I don't think of it as an int'l brand.

I tend to think of AP as being 'international' rather than British, and with Jo Malone being owned by Estee Lauder (I think?) and not having Jo Malone in it...seems just 'kinda' British to me.

Jo Malone won last year too, for Pomegranate Noir. But you're right, at least they didn't just reward the top sellers! Terre d'Hermes is doing very well this year (also won in Italy, France & Germany) and am going to be very surprised if it doesn't win in the US too.

The Terre d'Hermes isn't on the most widespread release here; neither is the Maitresse, so they haven't gone for the huge sellers or the popular faveourites. Black Orchid is VERY hard to find (I've still only seen it in Harrods), and a fair way out of the mainstream drive towards light and fruity. I think these are all worthy choices.

I didn't know Blue Agava & Cacao was a male fragrance. I LOVE Maitresse and Black Orchid so it's nice to see they won. I didn't know Blue Agava & Cacao was a male fragrance.
