The Fifth Annual Basenotes Awards
Best Men's Fragrance packaging: A*Men / Angel Men by Thierry Mugler

A very tactile bottle, this one. You can't help but be drawn to the big blue star and pick the thing up.
There are two versions of the A*Men bottle -- one (pictured) is encased in a metal refillable case - the other is in a rubber case. Both are equally deserving of this award.
As a side note - A*Men is the oldest fragrance to win this award, and its younger than ten years old. Are you all saying that they didn't make good bottles pre 1996? eh?!
