{Perfume Q & A} with Dimitri Mouton & Nathalie Granger of Senteurs D'Ailleurs - Tastes of Summer: 2007 Bestseller Summery Fragrances

Senteurs D'Ailleurs is located in Brussels and on their website they define themselves as being "neither a straightforward perfumery, nor a concept store, Senteurs D'Ailleurs presents itself like an unique jewel case in order to open itself to a rare and exclusive olfactory universe. In other words [it is ] the alternative perfumery of the third millenium."

We interviewed with Dimitri Mouton from Sales & Marketing and Nathalie Granger, Sales Associate......

As we have come to experience the dog days of summer (but maybe not in your area) what have been so far the bestsellers of this 2007 summer season?

Any perfumes or products that you regret customers have not paid enough attention to, although they would be great to wear or use now?

Apart from the fragrances that you sell yourself, any others (such as classics, foreign fragrances, hard-to-find perfumes) that you can recommend for our readers to seek out?
