First published in 1915, this volume contains a detailed guide to the preparation and manufacture of perfumes and cosmetics, originally intended for professional perfumers and cosmetic manufacturers. Although old, this volume contains a wealth of practical and useful information, and it is highly recommended for modern readers with an interest in perfumery. Contents include: "e;The History of Perfumery"e;, "e;About Aromatic Substances in General"e;, "e;Odors form the Vegetable Kingdom"e;, "e;The Aromatic Vegetable Substances Employed in Perfumery"e;, "e;The Animal Substances Used in Perfumery"e;, "e;The Chemical Products Used in Perfumery"e;, "e;The Extraction of Odors"e;, "e;The Special Characteristics of Aromatic Substances"e;, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned introduction on essential oils.
