Product Description : Ive long wished perfumery to be taken seriously as an art and for scent critics to be as fierce as opera critics and for the wearers of certain fragrances to be hissed in public while others are cheered This year has brought The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez which I breathed in rather than read in one delighted gulp Hilary Mantel The Guide is the culmination of Turins lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Sanchezs stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that shes ever loved and loathed Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of perfumemaking Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest compelling or downright entertaining

About this product

Product Information

The must-have perfume guide has been hailed as a masterpiece of criticism and invective. Over 400 new fragrances have been added to the original 1500 in this updated paperback. Perfumes: The Guide is the culmination of Luca Turin's lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Tania Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest, compelling or downright entertaining.
