Cartier's resident "nose," Mathilde Laurent, left, will meet with clients at least four times in the store's Salon des Parfums. Over the course of two or three hours, Laurent will grill clients about why they like to wear perfume, what their favorite childhood fragrances were and which ingredients they use when cooking.

In a June 20, 2005, cover story, TIME chronicled part of the interrogation of al-Qahtani, based on a highly classified log kept at Guantánamo over a 50-day period in the winter of 2002-03.

...asked me the same questions over and over," she added. "His mind wandered. He engaged in long rambling monologues.
