{Perfume Q & A} with Karl Bradl of Aedes de Venustas - Tastes of Summer: 2007 Bestseller Summery Fragrances

Karl Bradl is the owner, together with Robert Gerstner, of a perfumista's haven situated in the West Village in New York City called Aedes de Venustas. Their gorgeous (see the peacock art that mirrors the peacock in their window display) well-organized website is a treat to visit too and we can vouch for their excellent service.

Not surprisingly fresh, herbal-y, transparent, juicy, and discreet skin fragrances were favored amongst patrons. Anything to help beat the heat.....

{Perfume Q & A} with Régine Droin of Evody - Tastes of Summer: 2007 Bestseller Summery 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.......

{Perfume Q & A} with George Wuchsa of First in Fragrance/Aus Liebe Zum Duft -Tastes of Summer: 2007 Bestseller Summery Fragrances

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.

George Wuchsa is the owner of First in Fragrance also known in German as Aus Liebe Zum Duft. His business is located in Bruchsal, Germany........

Q & A with Fabrice Penot of Le Labo: The Lowdown on Tubéreuse 40 & Kirsten Dunst {Passion for Perfume - Portrait}

Each perfume has a history and a story to tell, some more than others it seems. When we learned that Le Labo Tubéreuse 40 had been worn by Kirsten Dunst to better enter the role of Marie-Antoinette in Sofia Coppola's biopic Marie-Antoinette about the former French queen, we wanted to ask a few questions to the founders of perfume house Le Labo who created the perfume for her. Fabrice Penot (on the left on the picture), one of the two co-founders with Edouard Roschi, answers our questions.

TSS: How did it come about that Kirsten Dunst wore this perfume for her role as Marie-Antoinette in the Sofia Coppola's movie?......
