Scents of Time

Więcej o książce

In this new gift set from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, fragrance historian Edwin Morris traces perfume's story from its origins in Babylonia to the most recent global trends. Each page is illustrated with works of art from the Museum's collections. Included with the book are eight fine fragrances, specially blended by the world-famous perfumers of Givaudan Roure to capture the most influential scents in history: Frankincense, Rose, Jasmine-Sandalwood, Orange Blossom, Spice, Eau de Cologne, Millefieurs, and Sportif. -- The Met has consistently created elegant and marketable gift products by drawing on their world-renowned art collections. A similarly packaged, smaller gift set, Gifts of the Magi (Bulfinch, 1998), has sold nearly 30,000 copies. -- The Scents of Time is the perfect gift for Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, wedding showers, or for anyone who enjoys pampering the senses. -- Givaudan Roure is one of the oldest and most prestigious perfume manufacturers in the world. Its clients include Armani, Dior, and Balmain. -- The book will be shrink-wrapped.
