First off, do you really need to put the brand name into the name of the perfume? I don’t get it. This was very artificial on me, especially at first.

To successfully launch a designer perfume, you need several things.
1) a hip location, such as a nightclub, museum, or other beautiful building
2) lots of hot models
3) lots of freebies and chances for the fashion press to sample the perfume.

L’Artisan’s The Pour un Ete (Summer Tea) is one of those scents with near-cult popularity. Originally slated to be a limited edition, it was made part of the permanent line.
