Winner of the 2016 Perfumed Plume AwardThe “Alice Waters of American natural perfume” (indieperfume ) and author of the Art of Flavor celebrates our most potent sense, through five rock stars of the fragrant world Mandy Aftel is widely acclaimed as a trailblazer in natural perfumery. Over two decades of sourcing the finest aromatic ingredients from all over the world and creating artisanal fragrances, she has been an evangelist for the transformative power of scent. In Fragrant, through five major players in the epic of aroma, she explores the profound connection between our sense of smell and the appetites that move us, give us pleasure, make us fully alive.Cinnamon, queen of the Spice Route, touches our hunger for the unknown, the exotic, the luxurious. Mint, homegrown the world over, speaks to our affinity for the familiar, the native, the authentic. Frankincense, an ancient incense ingredient, taps into our longing for transcendence, while ambergris embodies our unquenchable curiosity. And exquisite jasmine exemplifies our yearning for beauty, both evanescent and enduring. In addition to providing a riveting initiation into the history, natural history, and philosophy of scent, Fragrant imparts the essentials of scent literacy and includes recipes for easy-to-make fragrances and edible, drinkable, and useful concoctions that reveal the imaginative possibilities of creating with-and reveling in-aroma. Vintage line drawings make for a volume that will be a treasured gift as well as a great read. Review Praise for Fragrant: The Secret Life of ScentNamed one of Time Magazine and Flavorwires Best Fall Reads “Aftel could be considered the scent world’s Alice Waters. … She writes passionately about scent … pass[ing] through the histories of [her five] “landmark scents” like an anthropologist jotting down field notes. … A welcome perspective.” -New York TimesSublime...“From astonishing, almost mythic accounts of the ancient spice trade to easy-to-follow formulas that will allow readers to try their own hand at perfumery, Fragrant is a lush must-read for all lovers of perfume.” -ElleMandy Aftels seductive Fragrant plumbs the power of ancient and exotic smells to ignite desire, discovery, and transcendence. -Vanity FairA powerful history of the senses. “People sailed around the world the wrong way just to get different aromas into their lives,” explains Aftel. In the spirit of those spice-seeking adventurers, she sets off on a sweeping narrative tour, exploring the role of scent in everything from Greek mythology and classic texts likes One Thousand and One Nights to its impact on modern medicine, and even flapper-era cocktails. -Vogue“[Aftel] writes passionately about our emotional connection with scent, its powers of transcendence and her mission to create perfumes that are the antithesis of overly chemical, mass-produced fragrances… deftly weaving in the Bible (the scent-drenched Song of Solomon), historic remedies (how to make 19th century Vienna Bitters)…linguistics (the Sanskrit origins of the word musk), literature (Charles Darwin waxing rhapsodic about jasmine), history (the spice route) and science (how frankincense may relieve depression)” -Los Angeles TimesCinnamon, mint, frankincense, ambergris and jasmine seem to waft from the pages as Aftel interprets their history, mythology and ethereality, providing the reader with a heady literary elixir. -San Francisco Chronicle “A valuable recent addition to the perfume nerd’s informational arsenal… Reading [Aftel’s] book makes a person wearing perfume feel connected to every human in every era who has ever done so.”-Bookforum“This falls most compelling tome of highbrow nonfiction by a Berkeley author … is [this] authoritatively voiced, utterly fascinating, fact-laden look into the surprisingly complex world of scent.” -San Francisco Magazine“Aftel offers intriguing insight into world cultures through the history of five key sce
