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. Dominique Roques, travelling from Andalusia to Somaliland by way of Bulgaria, Laos, El Salvador, Indonesia and Egypt, describes his search to find the best natural ingredients, precious to perfumers everywhere.

Roques reveals the beauty and mysteries of a familiar trade; a return to the source of the world's scents."--From publisher.
