"A journey across the world, revealing the beauty and mysteries of the perfume trade. The book also tackles the earth's changing climate conditions, with its impact on the
sources
of the world's scents. In Search of Perfumes is a fragrant journey across the world, revealing the beauty and mysteries of the perfume trade. Fruits, flowers, spices, bark, leaves, and branches are just some of the natural ingredients from the plant world that are used in the creation of perfume.
