The book Journal d’un Parfumeur (editions Sabine Wespiese Editeur, Paris) is a book on Jean Claude Ellena’s (head perfumer at Hermes and acclaimed top nose in the business at least in the last decade) course as a perfumer and contains Jean Claude’s reflections on his art from.
The book is written with a rare delicatesse and beauty.
I recommend this reading to everyone (who unfortunately speaks french) and to those who have an interest in the art of fragrance.
