Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: An excellent introduction to the art of making perfume - 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. Review: Perfume: The Art and Craft of Fragrance - 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 1,039,928 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 889 in Beauty & Fashion (Books) 25,964 in Home & Garden (Books) 115,295 in Arts & Photography (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 145 Reviews | ## Images ![Perfume: The art and craft of fragrance - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71wnjFmwbaL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An excellent introduction to the art of making perfume *by Q***E on 5 April 2014* The art of a perfumer is a true skill.
