### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An excellent introduction to the art of making perfume
  

*by Q***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 April 2014*

The art of a perfumer is a true skill. This well written and beautifully illustrated book is the best introduction to this vast subject I have been able to find.  As a novice it has given me practical information  to enable me to make simple blends using natural fragrances with basic information about balancing fragrance notes and creating  different accords within the different notes.  There are also very good instructions to make oil based, alcohol based, solid perfumes and room fragrances. There is basic practical guidance as to how to begin training you nose to recognise fragrance notes and blends.  There is insight and inspiration into the art of using chemical extracts from plant oils and quality synthetics to enhance naturals where needed because of inherent restrictions with some plant oils due to their very nature, lack of  longevity, potential skin irritation and cost.  I have been  guided to think about perfume within the different categories of fragrances, which types of smells and plant extracts are usually found in each and  inspired to be creative. There is so much practical information in this little book set against history and evolution of the fragrance industry that .I have been both daunted by its potential complexity but truly inspired to want to learn more.

    Perfume: The Art and Craft of Fragrance
  

*by D***C on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 June 2014*

The information in it was interesting but I was expecting more recipes to try. It provides a good insight on the art of fragrance so if one is interesting on background information this is a good book. On the other hand if you want lots of easy to follow recipes then there are other options on the market. Very quick delivery and packaging.

Reed diffucers are also here as well as how to fragrance shower gels, scrubs, creams and lotions. Oh, and she tells you how to make the shower gels, scrubs, creams and lotions as well!Beautifully photographed, clear, concise, informative and a joy to read - there is everything to love about this book.
