"In his book M. Ellena opens the door of his office and laboratory. He talks about what he loves and what he avoids, how he classifies raw materials, and what is most exciting, M, Ellena describes how he creates, in detail. Perfume The Alchemy of Scent could be considered a short encyclopedia for those who want to know the perfumer's work and learn about the perfume industry from the inside, but have no guide on where to start."
PEFUME is published in English by Arcade publishing, an imprint of Skyhorse.
