Perfumes, Cosmetics And Soaps: Production, Manufacture And Application Of Perfumes V. 2
RRP $821.99
During the past decade there have been many changes in the perfumery industry which are not so much due to the discovery and application of new raw materials, but rather to the astronomic increase in the cost of labour required to produce them. This is reflected more particularly in the flower industry, where the cost of collecting the blossoms delivered to the factories has gone up year after year, so much so that most flowers with the possible exception of Mimosa, have reached a cost price which has compelled the perfumer to either reduce his purchases of absolutes and concretes, or alternatively to substitute them from a cheaper source, or even to discontinue their use. This development raises an important and almost insoluble problem for the perfumer, who is faced with the necessity of trying to keep unchanged the bouquet of his fragrances, and moreover, to ensure no loss of strength and diffusiveness. Of course, this problem applies more especially to the adjustment of formulae for established perfumes, because in every new creation the present high cost of raw materials receives imperative con- sideration before the formula is approved.
Perfume : The Story Of A Murderer
RRP $12.99
Patrick Suskind's Perfume follows the life of
Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, abandoned at birth in the slums of
eighteenth-century Paris, but blessed with an outstanding sense of
smell. This gift enables Jean-Baptiste to master the art of perfume
making, but one scent evades him: that of a virgin, whom he must
possess to ensure her innocence and beauty are preserved. Laced with
sense and suspense, this is a beguiling tale of lust, desire and deadly
obsession.
About The Author
Patrick Suskind was born in 1949. He studied history in Munich and
was a writer for television before he wrote Perfume. His second
novel, The Pidgeon, later adapted as a play, was first staged
at teh BAC Theater in London in May 1993. His play The Double Bass
was first staged in Munich in 1981 and has since become one of the most
performed plays in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. It has also been
performed at the Edinburgh Festival and at the Royal National Theatre
in London. His novella The Story of Mr Sommer (1992) has, like Perfume,
been a huge success all over the world, and his Three Stories and a
Reflection was published in 1996. Patrick Suskind lives in Munich.
