It's probably the sort of place about which I'd like to write on this blog :-)<br /><br />The future of retail will certainly be interesting to watch. Everyone is focussed on trying to deliver a memorable 'experience'... but of course, that's easier said than done.Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-45095143086871946742014-06-07T11:57:47.015+01:002014-06-07T11:57:47.015+01:00Persolaise, thank you very much for your reply.

Luckily though I was able to buy one of the last bottles of Delrae's "Emotionelle".<br /><br Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-41681024964701986402014-06-06T11:08:48.232+01:002014-06-06T11:08:48.232+01:00Petra, thanks for your comment.

What an unusual arrangement.<br /><br />Andy Tauer recently wrote on his blog that he feels a 'bricks and mortar' setting is still the way to go for perfume retail, but I guess the trick will be figuring out a way to make 'real world' retail more appealing again.Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-27410275730564545232014-06-05T19:36:05.747+01:002014-06-05T19:36:05.747+01:00oh my goodness, this should read: they have rented...oh my goodness, this should read: they have rented out their shop to an optician and after having made an appointment with them you can come and see them in their backyard office.<br /><br />I wonder how they arrived at representing Roja Dove...<br /><br />High street boutiques having to pay for the full monty are not really amused at this kind of business, either.<br /><br />PetraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-21541678797699273442014-06-05T12:31:08.589+01:002014-06-05T12:31:08.589+01:00Thank you very much for this very enlightening art...Thank you very much for this very enlightening article.<br /><br />I do have the impression that the perfume boutiques tend to offer more and more "indie" scents, especially the ones selling online, too. There's one boutique I know of who have rented out their shop an optician and you should only go and see them afteran appointment in their backyard.<br /><br />They seem to make Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-90492108311782094572014-06-04T08:09:08.178+01:002014-06-04T08:09:08.178+01:00Leathermountain, thanks for your comment.

If the entry price is low but the price points of niche are rising, maybe we can understand what Edwards means when he says the niche market is becoming increasingly opportunistic.Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-36578602919857783312014-06-04T08:08:10.715+01:002014-06-04T08:08:10.715+01:00SallyM, thanks very much for stopping by.

It was sobering to read, "the entry price is so low," at the same time that something exponential seems to be happening with niche price points. I'm flabbergasted.leathermountainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-56294102569043731662014-06-03T18:00:08.189+01:002014-06-03T18:00:08.189+01:00Absolutely fascinating.
