Book Description
The idea of publishing this book on Perfumes: Art, Science and Technology grew out of the observation that, on the verge of the 1990s, there was really no state-of-the-art compilation of the relevant know-how on which the fragrance industry is based. It was obvious that such a compilation would be well received, not only by perfumers and fragrance chemists, but also by those involved in related trade and marketing or in the development and distribution of consumer products, by researchers from other fields, by students and, finally, by amateurs of perfumes in general. Therefore, we set out to find competent authors who were willing to contribute to the endeavour, and we did not do this unselfishly; on the contrary, we selected a wish-list of specialists who would provide us with new insight and characterize the trends and research priorities determining the future. Thus, we were counting on learning much ourselves in the course of the project. We were more than pleasantly surprised by the reactions to our first letter-and so was Elsevier. We certainly had not expected perfumers who are usually much more 'doers' than 'writers' to react in such an enthusiastic way; especially, the spontaneous affirmative answer from the famous E. Roudnitska created a momentum which contributed significantly to the successful comple tion of this book. But, of course, we should not create the impression that the other authors' chapters are less important, and we thank all of them heartily for their invaluable effort.

Book Description
An artisan perfumer reveals a lost art and its mysterious, sensual history. For centuries, people have taken what seems to be an instinctive pleasure in rubbing scents into their skin. Perfume has helped them to pray, to heal, and to make love. And as long as there has been perfume, there have been perfumers, or rather the priests, shamans, and apothecaries who were their predecessors. Yet, in many ways, perfumery is a lost art, its creative and sensual possibilities eclipsed by the synthetic ingredients of which contemporary perfumes are composed, which have none of the subtlety and complexity of essences derived from natural substances, nor their lush histories. Essence and Alchemy resurrects the social and metaphysical legacy that is entwined with the evolution of perfumery, from the dramas of the spice trade to the quests of the alchemists to whom today's perfumers owe a philosophical as well as a practical debt. Mandy Aftel tracks scent through the boudoir and the bath and into the sanctums of worship, offering insights on the relationship of scent to sex, solitude, and the soul. Along the way, she imparts instruction in the art of perfume compositions, complete with recipes, guiding the reader in a process of transformation of materials that continues to follow the alchemical dictum solve et coagula (dissolve and combine) and is itself aesthetically and spiritually transforming.

Book Description
Desde el rey Salomón a Luis XV, perfumarse ha sido esencial, consustancial al ser humano, bien como símbolo de poder y estatus, bien como medicina o afrodisiaco, más allá de sus connotaciones religiosas. Es complejo datar su origen, pero sí se puede deducir su función principal: el culto. El buen olor siempre ha sido lo opuesto al hedor propio de la muerte y la enfermedad. La combustión del incienso o sahumerio, perfume primitivo por excelencia, embajador de la fe, ubicuo y transcultural, demarcaba el espacio sagrado generando una atmósfera emotiva que invitaba a elevarse más allá de la conciencia para comunicarse con lo divino. Desde el sintoísmo al budismo, del hinduismo al islam, esa inmanencia espiritual siempre fue definida por la fragancia. Esta obra pretende surcar la historia analizando diferentes culturas para desenmarañar sus raíces perfumadas, desde los óleos sagrados egipcios y las hedónicas composiciones árabes e indias hasta las primeras moléculas de síntesis del XIX que impulsaron la democratización del perfume, para eclosionar en el XX, cuando la moda se alió a la fragancia “de autor” para sellar su compromiso imperecedero.
