A definitive volume on the art and history of fine fragrance — The Essence of Perfume by Roja Dove, 2008 vintage hardcover. Written by one of the world's foremost perfume authorities, this is essential reading for collectors, connoisseurs, and anyone passionate about the world of luxury perfumery.

The Essence of Perfume is the first book by the world's only Professeur de Parfums, and is as captivating as it is informative. Beginning with a comprehensive discussion of the sense of smell and the materials of the master perfumer, The Essence of Perfume goes on to celebrate the great classics (from Guerlain's Shalimar and Vol de Nuit, to Chanel's No 5 and Nina Ricci's L'Air du Temps), the makers who brought them to life and the designers who gave them shape. In an age where the methods and motivations of the original perfumers are all but forgotten, Roja Dove unfolds the gripping story of scent with all the passion and devotion of a true artist.  

A rare book in excellent condition. A perfume treasure. This is a Collector's Item. 

Each JoAnne Bassett order is accompanied by a complimentary perfume sample, handpicked from the collection — an invitation to discover your next signature scent.
