Book Review
Jointly produced by Nez Éditions, a French publisher specializing in scent, and LMR (Laboratoire Monique Rémy), which supplies natural fragrance ingredients of the highest quality and is part of IFF, the world’s No. 2 fragrance company, these are the world’s most detailed books on individual ingredients in perfumery. They are published in English and French.
At present, volumes have been published on Damask rose, jasmine sambac, iris, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood, narcissus, geranium, orange blossom, lavender, and tuberose (these links lead to the fragrance ingredient encyclopedia; purchase links are in the Purchase Information section below).
Each ingredient is explored in depth through its cultivation, extraction, history, connections with art, perfumers’ comments, and more. I have also found these books extremely helpful when writing this site’s ingredient guides. They are books I warmly encourage anyone fascinated by fragrance ingredients to read, not just aspiring perfumers.
The publisher also offers a variety of books beyond this ingredient series.
