Michael Edwards offers us a second, enriched edition of his cult book on perfumery.
The perfumer Ron Winnegrad presents, an intimate and heart-warming autobiographical account of his personal outlook on the fragrance industry and the craft behind it.
Beginning in 1860, when the brand was founded by Félix Millot, to when it was taken over by Révillon perfumes in 1966, more than 100 years of history are covered here by Laurianne Millot and Odile Thiriot.
A masterfully woven patchwork of recollections, desires, and regrets all themed around his sense of smell and the olfactory memories the author has collected over his life.
This book is most admirable with the near-perfect balance it strikes between promoting the company’s assets, recounting fragrance history, and exploring the artistry and contemporary issues surrounding the medium of perfume.
