The Big Book of Perfume is an accessible reference guide, which invites you to discover olfactory culture. For many people, the world of perfume is still shrouded in mystery, but this work reveals hitherto unknown aspects of the industry, taking an informative approach, combining historical, scientific and aesthetic aspects.
First published in French in October 2018, the long anticipated edition in English has just finally arrived. This new edition gives voice to perfume experts from a variety of backgrounds: 20 new, never before published testimonials and a reflection on perfume as a globalised cultural product, make this second edition a new must-have.
However, aside from often superficial and reductive communications, the perfume industry has long enjoyed keeping secrets and has cultivated a talent for maintaining mystery.
What are perfumes composed of? Who are the perfumers behind these fragrances and what is their everyday work like? What happens between the conception of an idea and the arrival of a new bottle on the shelves? What differences are there between a popular brand distributed on a large scale and a smaller company whose products are only available in a handful of stores?
For the first time, a book – created by the Nez collective – answers the questions you have always been curious about.
