Because I’ve spent a long time making perfume, François Chartier’s chemical analyses are revealing because many of the same compounds are used in perfumery. To the average reader, these may seem superfluous because we so rarely encounter them in day-to-day life. However, because their effects are explained and their odors grouped and categorized, a beautiful logic comes into focus. Copyright 2009 (French edition), 2012 (English edition, this one), first edition, first printing; hardcover, full-color, 223 pages, conditon very good (the dust jacket has a big gash on the front. The book, however, remains unaffected.
