If you have ever driven past the lavender fields of Provence or dreamed of travelling to the mountains of Somaliland to observe the centuries old extraction of frankincence. Or perhaps you have smelt the heavenly scent of a Damascus Rose - then this is a book that will interest you.
In Search of Perfumes, is an account of three decades of Roques olfactory odyssey into the world of fragrance.
In Provence we meet the creator of fragrances dor labels such as Diptyque, Reminiscence and L'Artisan Parfumeur. Through the rose, we meet rose farmers in Iran, India, Turkey and Morocco.
The book travels back in history to illuminate the discovery of these fine scents through trade, conquests and colonialism.
