Subject: It took fragrance authority Michael Edward five years and hundreds of interviews with perfumers, couturiers, bottle designers, and fragrance house executives to research and compile Perfume Legends. Never before have so many people involved in the exotic and secretive world of perfume spoken so openly about their art. Perfume Legends is an essential reference for anyone who is captivated by fragrance. All you could possibly want to know about the most famous French perfumes is revealed in this wonderfully comprehensive book. Illustrated with sumptuous color photographs and drawings, Perfume Legends takes you on an exciting journey through the history and romance of more than one hundred years of French perfumes. These are the innovative fragrances that shaped modern perfumery. From Jicky top Opium, each perfume has an intriguing story behind the name. Learn, for instance, how couturiers such as Coco Chanel, Christian Dior, Paco Rabanne and Yves Saint Laurent translated the spirit of their style into fragrance. Discover how the perfumers created such innovative accords such as Chanel No. 5 or Angel. See how the bottle designers fashioned marvelous flacons for houses like Rochas and Nina Ricci. Perfume Legends is the first of a trilogy and a ‘must-have’ for anyone in the fragrance industry. The second volume will cover American classics and the third volume will highlight men’s fragrances.
