The Perfumer's Bible,
By
This review is from: Poucher's Perfumes, Cosmetics and Soaps: Volume 2 The Production, Manufacture and Application of Perfumes (Population and Community Biology (Chapman & Hall)) (Hardcover)
This book is what is called the Perfumer's Bible.
The first edition was from 1923, a time when synthetics were limited in number. It is a wonderful read for an interested amateur as myself. I learned almost everything that I know about perfume making from him. W.A.Poucher was chief perfumist with Yardley for over 30 years. But be aware that this 9th editon is the original writing by W.A. Poucher. The 10th edition is not written by him. His title and name is used to make an up-to-date edition with no comparison to the original.
