The Perfume Directory is a beautifully illustrated compendium of 500 recommended scents from across the olfactory spectrum, designed to help readers pick out their next favourite fragrance. People have used fragrance as an invisible adornment for at least 3,000 years. Ever since the Victorian chemists synthesised scents, we have all been able to enjoy a spritz of leather and tobacco, lemon and rose, or jasmine and musk to help us through the trials of daily life. More than 20,000 fragrances are currently in production around the world - from the big five multinational flavour and fragrance companies to exciting small perfumeries. How do we find one to love? Among all those thousands of scents, where do we start? If our favourite goes out of production, how do we replace it? The Perfume Directory is here to help. Selecting 500 perfumes from across the olfactory spectrum, this helpful and inspirational manual organises and explores fragrances by their main notes so you can go about selecting your favourite. An introductory section covers the history and making of perfume All the most frequently asked questions answered A glossary of technical terms ensures you won't be overwhelmed by any complex jargon Further reading sections advise where you can find more information on fragrance online and beyond Filled with vibrant descriptions and specially commissioned illustrations that bring the fragrances and their beautiful bottles to life, The Perfume Directory is the ideal introduction to the complex world of scent.
