Sunday Times votes on the best beauty products of the year. You can enter your choices under any of the categories by going straight to the article. In terms of fragrance, there are two categories. Best Fragrance is described by the article as “Fragrance defines you. A well-chosen scent can radiate your persona. What else can do this so subtly? What’s your olfactory emblem?” Last year’s winner was Chanel Allure. The second category is Best New Fragrance. “Which one captivated you?” Last year’s winner was Prada eau de parfum.
Welcome to Bois de Jasmin! I'm a writer, journalist and professionally trained perfumer. On these pages I explore the world of senses through art, literature, and history. - Victoria
