Fascinating book for an incredibly low price
The layout and typeface choices are very obviously rushed and unprofessional so it’s not a stunner for a coffee table placement. But for the cost, it’s a fascinating and well-researched dive into perfumery.

Was für ein Buch ! Das Buch habe ich mir selbst gekauft, da ich ein großer Parfumliebhaber bin und das Buch ist einfach nur ein wow ! Für jeden der sich für die Parfumerie interessiert ist dies ein Meisterstück. Es ist in Englisch verfasst. Das Buch ist recht groß und dick und alle wichtigen Informationen befinden sich in diesem Buch ich bin echt verliebt. Der Text wird mit wunderschönen Bildern unterstützt und macht das Verständnis sehr einfach. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen.

Lovely book but some of interviews are rather boring and it could have been curated better.
