Klappentext zu „Perfumes “
The must-have hardback has been hailed as a masterpiece of criticism and invective. 300 new fragrances have been added to the original 1500 in this updated paperback. PERFUMES: THE GUIDE is the culmination of Luca Turin's lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Tania Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest, compelling or downright entertaining.Autoren-Porträt von Luca Turin, Tania Sanchez

Rezension zu „Perfumes “
"'I've long wished perfumery to be taken seriously as an art, and for scent critics to be as fierce as opera critics, and for the wearers of certain "fragrances" to be hissed in public, while others are cheered. This year has brought Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, which I breathed in, rather than read, in one delighted gulp.' Hilary Mantel, Guardian 'An unexpected classic of criticism' - Philip Hensher, Spectator (Books of the Year) 'If you are at all interested in perfume, one of life's greatest sensual pleasures, this is an essential possession' David Sexton, Evening Standard 'This husband-and-wife team has produced a work of perfume criticism that is as gripping as any thriller.' Jan Moir, Daily Mail"
Pressezitat
As scintillating as it is comprehensive...this pungent, entrancing book is a wake up call for the nostrils. The Independent
