Fragrantica:
Brand of the year
Fragrantica named Fine Scents Brand of the Year, marking the debut collection as “compact but very brilliant” — a rare kind of recognition for something newly born.
Fragrantica’s writers chose Fine Scents as Brand of the Year, citing the launch of the three fragrances — Joie de Sannes, Éminence, and Fashionably Late — and the decision to treat the debut as a complete, coherent wardrobe rather than a loud introduction. They noted the collection’s logic and elegance, and the presence of the bottle design by Jules Dinand.
In the same Fragrantica selection of the year, Fashionably Late was singled out as a standout — praised as a “fantastic tuberose,” described as delicate, elegant, and quietly assured from opening to drydown.
And in a dedicated Fragrantica review, Joie de Sannes was painted as a rose garden in Grasse — airy, detailed, and effervescent, with the feeling of champagne bubbles caught inside a summer afternoon.
