Atlas of Perfumed Botany

For perfume makers, each smell carries with it a multitude of associations and impressions that must be carefully analysed and understood before the sum of all its parts emerges. All perfumers have their own idiosyncratic methods, drawn from their individual olfactory experiences, for classifying fragrances. In Atlas of Perfumed Plants, virtuoso perfumer Jean-Claude Ellena leads readers on a poetic, geographic, and botanical journey of perfume discovery. Ellena offers a varied and fascinating cartography of fragrances, tracing historical connections and the exploration of new lands and their people. Full-page entries on plants ranging from bergamot to lavender are accompanied by detailed and vivid full-colour botanical illustrations.
