Fragrance Hunter: A Journey in Search of Natural Ingredients for Iconic Perfumes from Guerlain to Issey Miyake
4.99 €
You open a perfume bottle and smell the unique notes of the fragrance: mountain plains of lavender, fields of fragrant roses, and the Christmas scent of cinnamon and citrus. Natural essences sourced from around the world are the magical part of perfume. They have the power to take us on a captivating journey, carry us through fragments of memory, and resurrect long-forgotten events.

For 30 years, Dominique Roque has been exploring continents in search of exceptional scents for the formulas of "master perfumers."

From his notes, you will learn:
- which extract revolutionized chypre accords in 1919;
- how many trees were needed to cut down to obtain a kilogram of the "tree of kings" essence;
- how lavender differs from lavandin, which has flooded the global market;
- why Cologne water laid the foundation for modern perfumery;
- For which familiar spice do we need to trek through the jungle, accompanied by a military convoy?

Join the author as you explore the natural wonders of Laos, Bulgaria, India, Madagascar, and other centers of the finest perfume raw materials, immerse yourself in the distinctive cultures of their inhabitants, and learn about the secrets of extracting precious essences.
