For perfumers, scents hold a thousand delicate nuances to which they are attuned.
So many subtle notes that they carefully arrange and combine to compose olfactory narratives called perfumes. Lavender, vetiver, jasmine, cinnamon...
Immersed in these familiar scents, as if in a memory or a landscape, Jean-Claude Ellena studies the diversity and composition of scents through a poetic, geographic, and botanical journey.
Linked to the history of world exploration, of new lands and their people, this varied and astonishing cartography of scents is magnificently illustrated by Karin Doering-Froger.

Belle iconographie
Intéressant, poétique, ingrédients en parfumerie et l’auteur qui raconte… très bien écrit.
Voici un ouvrage bien fait. Belles illustrations et textes bien écrits, documentés, instructifs sans être ennuyeux. Un bel ouvrage pour celui qui s'intréesse à la botanique ou aux parfums.
Offert à un docteur ingénieur en biologie. Accessible toutefois à tous. La qualité des illustrations est une très bonne surprise!
