New York - And the award goes too… Fragrance Foundation's 37th annual
awards ceremony was held Wednesday in Manhattan. The star studded
events, with celebrities ( almost all we should mention who have their
own perfumes) like Queen Latifah, Marc Jacobs, Mary J Blige, Sean
"Diddy" Combs, Dustin Hoffman, Ernest Borgnine, Paris Hilton, Hilary
Rhoda, and Kate Walsh were there to walk the red carpet while smelling
(we hope) their very best. Tip from the male stars? Squirtz the neck.
Both Combs and Hoffman smell a woman's neck rather than her wrist.
Combs went on that evening to win his second FiFi for I am King. Marc
Jacobs and Paris Hilton also took home FiFi's to add to their
collection. As far as Jacobs go, I can't wait to get my hands on Marc
Jacobs's newest scent, Lola!  Daisy, Jacobs's first successful perfume
was named after Daisy Buchanan form "The Great Gatsby", coincidence
