Colognes, aftershaves, perfumes, fragrances, scents: there are so many ways to describe those little bottles of fine-smelling liquid that we dab, spray and mist on ourselves every day. But our love of fragrances runs so much deeper than just buying a scent because we like the way it smells. Scent is so evocative, yet so personal; the fragrances we choose tell a story, saying much about us and how we want to be perceived - from subtle, floral notes to warming oud, our obsession with scents runs deep.

How to Speak Scent will take you on a journey into this fascinating world, explaining how to tell top notes from mid notes, base notes, dry down and lingering dry down, how to choose a fragrance for special occasions, what different scents say about you, and breaking scents down into their distinct themes: woody, floral, amber, fresh. Featuring some of the most renowned and innovative perfumes from powerhouses such as Chanel, Guerlain, Jean Paul Gaultier, Tom Ford, and Issey Miyake, this book is an essential companion for anyone with a passion for fragrance.
