I would not venture to say that this book tells you everything about perfume. But I have tried to explain every aspect of perfume creation as comprehensively as possible. I hope you will share, in some small measure, my passionate feelings for the world of perfume and the great artists who have nurtured it.

Book Review
Because fragrance touches our nervous centers, it frees us from social and cultural taboos that presume to know better and allows us to recover our true selves. Perfume tickles our hidden egos.
Roja Dove
This is a work into which Roja Dove has poured heart and soul. Dove knows Guerlain better than anyone and loved the house so much that Dove approached it and joined the company. As the author says, the book goes beyond a detailed history of perfume and introductions to famous fragrances: it offers a comprehensive, detailed understanding of almost everything, from fragrance materials and scent families to how perfume works. This is the book our website has set its sights on surpassing.
This book needs no further words.
Everyone who loves perfume, everyone whose work involves perfume, let us revere it as our bible!!
