  1. I’ll have to try the Arquiste. The packaging of the year made me hungry for some ice cream.

      I’m going to be painfully honest, Daniel. The packaging for Sundae Pretty Pink is just ridiculous. I’ll give L’Or de Louis a sample, but I can’t say the notes excite me.

      1. The packaging is awful. It’s hard to believe it could win!

    The Daisy Drops are a clever idea, borrowing from skincare products. I have Formosa so am glad to see it on the list, although must say I’m a bit surprised as the “jade” cap looks like cheap plastic and the actual packaging is simple cardboard – but still elegant.

    1. Flaconneur says:

      The Daisy Drops are a great alternative to the travel atomizer. I think you might be seeing much more use of this idea from other brands. Formosa has an interesting bottle shape. It’s very Art Deco inspired. I agree, Nose Prose, I think the cap looks cheap.
