Its a big stats week here at Basenotes as you also get a SotM for May. This is really the best look weve had at the entire community. When we went to the temporary board, while the main board was being re-coded, we had a unisex SotD. This was continued for a couple of weeks once we came back to the re-coded boards. Once the decision to split the boards was decided I started keeping combined stats anyway. The addition of the all the ladies had a profound effect on the numbers which Ill get to. But first the raw numbers for May 2008. A total of 3,915 posts up from 3,317 for April. 1,398 different scents mentioned up from 1,115 in April. 716 scents worn once, for an individuality index of 18.2%; up from 590 and 17.8%, respectively last month. Add in the scents worn 2, 3 or 4 times i.e. those worn on an average less than once a week and the individuality index soars to a staggering 50% up from 44.6%. Stop and think about that half of the scents worn in May were worn less than an average of once a week. Incroyable!!!
Why the big change in things? I can sum it up very easily It was the Ladies. Their addition to the stats has had a profound effect particularly on the diversity aspects but also in the way they champion a scent for a week. The ladies have rocked the stats the latter half of the month of May and the top 10 reflects this with both Jicky and Champs-Elysees in the #2 and 3 slots. Guerlain Vetiver, Dior Homme, and Creed Green Irish Tweed are here as usual. The other four entries are new to the top 10, Comme des Garcons Monocle Scent One: Hinoki is easily the new kid in town but the support for this scent grows week-to-week. Tauer LAir du Desert Marocain and YSL Kouros have been close in the past and now make it in. Chanel Egoiste makes it in mostly on the back of an SSD around Chanel, The leader of the pack is the leader since Ive been doing this. Although I think the ladies might knock it off its accustomed perch in June, with what I dont know but it will be fun to watch.
