I myself often question the sustainability of luxury marketing, because I often fail to find the scientific explanation of many happenings of the world of luxury. This sometimes frustrates me. However, Professor Derval gives me faith in the luxury industry because she brings to the table scientific tools and approaches to creating, developing, and revamping luxury brands. I've had the pleasure to read one of her previous books "The Right Sensory Mix," and since then my understanding of the luxury market has elevated and she has brought sense to an industry driven by emotional preferences. Reading this book, I was again genuinely looking forward to acquiring more scientific tools to understand and grow the brands I service.
