Composers of Fragrance: Legendary Perfumers of the 20th and 21st Centuries and Their Best Works

Almost everyone has a memory or story connected to a perfume bottle. But when we talk about perfume, we usually mean our perception of the scent, its name, the brand, the advertising image—and almost never the perfumer. This book tells the story of the famous “composers of aromas,” who created unforgettable perfume symphonies that “sound” to this day. In this audiobook, you’ll learn about twentieth-century perfume dynasties: how it happened that Russia “raised” the creator of Chanel’s fragrances; how a Frenchman wrote popular Soviet perfumes; which of the women perfumers created scents like Fidji, Bandit, and Tresor; why Annick Goutal couldn’t save money; what “successful provocation” is at a molecular level—and much more!
