you're welcome.
Oh I don't think...Maria,<br /><br />you're welcome. <br /><br />Oh I don't think it's like leftovers made dinner (which can actually turn out fabulous on occasion), it's more like "let's follow the recipe we have made a thousand times before and just sprinkle a bit of pink pepper on top to make it modern". Duh....<br /><br />I suppose it's not just the textiles business.

The "trials" is also a generic term. They might mean that they tried it 5521 times from head to bottom to focus groups. We'd have to ask Anne Flippo to nuance it but I doubt she would. <br /><br /Perfumeshrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06222733129203280662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3792393342962796253.post-42660918322354514352013-11-22T13:57:12.626+00:002013-11-22T13:57:12.626+00:00Thanks for clarification on mods, that makes sense...Thanks for clarification on mods, that makes sense... 5521 still puzzles me. Personally, I'll blame it on PR :-)<br /><br />And shame on me, but I still don't get chronology :) This prediction is for the next year, while it takes (allegedly) twice or thrice as much time to make a perfume that will fit into this prediction.

This here is for the next year, but now and then I read in those PR-interviews that perfumers work on one scent for 2 or 3 years. E.g.: in a promotion mag of a big local Sephora-type chain there's an interview promoting La Vie Est Belle, where Anne Flipo says that it took Marianoreply@blogger.com
