 Lisa Hoffman, the wife of actor Dustin Hoffman, will launch a collection of scents this fall in November called the Variations Collection. She already has a skin care line. Each scent has four incarnations of it to correspond to four different periods of olfactory sensitivity during the day and night,
"I always have a favorite fragrance — whether it's for a week, three months, or several years. But I was frustrated that certain fragrances were great in the evening, but overwhelming in the morning," said Hoffman, who added that she's always wanted to wear a little fragrance to bed, but found most to be too strong. "I wanted to create a fragrance with several variants based on the way you live your life." .......

A very good tip from Camille Goutal on how to maxime the effect your perfume can have. We like the fact that she combines the precepts of two separate schools of thoughts on where to apply perfume, i.e., clothes vs. skin. Some purists and professionals recommend avoiding direct contact of the scent onto the skin and rather to spray it onto your clothes (which will ultimately make the fragrance come in contact with your skin or be activated by your body heat but more subtly). See how Camille Goutal does it:.......

We thought that it would be really interesting to ask some perfume experts who are trendsetters within the world of fragrances and amongst perfumistas to tell us what had been the bestsellers of the summer of 2007 in their boutiques.Thanks to their constant quest for new perfume creations and their vast collections of fragrances and beauty products, they influence people's tastes, but at the same time, trends and patterns emerge that through a mysterious alchemy reveal that certain products will meet the favor of the public more than others. So what happened in the summer of 2007? Any further tips for easing the crossing of the dog days (in principle from July 24th to August 24th)?
We also asked for further recommendations of summer perfumes that they do not carry and also for some celebrities' favorites, if any.We hope that you will enjoy their answers and find them a source of inspiration for your purchases and own personal quest for some very special fragrances.

Régine Droin is a perfume expert with 30 years of experience and the owner of a trendy Parisian niche perfumery called Evody located in the midst of the Saint-Michel and Odéon quarters in the VIth arrondissement of Paris, which she operates together with her daughter Cérine Droin. We already featured their new boutique here.
Régine Droin pointed to an interesting distinction in taste appearing this summer between the clientèle from abroad and the local one, which is understandable as the historic district in which the boutique is located is very tourist-y. The weather on the whole this summer in Paris was cool creating a psychological yearning for notes that were sunny and warm at the same time.......
