Introduction to Artisan Perfumery

This is a great starter book for the people with no idea whatsoever regarding perfumery and the terminology. I recommend this for beginners.

Absolutely loved reading this. A great book that is easy to understand, contains lots of important information. I have purchased this book both on unlimited and then full price for keeps as I know I will refer back to it often.

For beginner an excellent book, I recommend it

This is a well-written introduction to perfume-making as a hobby. This book does a good job of defining perfume-making terminology & things we should know when blending our own recipies. (The authors have an attractive Internet website, Vetiver Aromatics which sells perfumery supplies & all sorts of interesting fragrance oils. They seem to know their business.) This book is a useful, concise handbook for beginning perfumers. My only criticism is that it could use some pretty illustrations & photos. The present format is somewhat visually dull, but the price is right & the cover photo creates the right mood. (Maybe the authors could write a longer, more visually attractive perfumery book with a snappier title in the future.)I recently bought several thin books on perfume-making from Amazon which appear to be self-published. Some of them are really not books, but extended articles on perfume-making, not very well-written & not worth the money, but "Introduction to Artisan Perfumes" isn't one of them.

I enjoyed this book, it has great information on fragrances and essential oil blending. Great information about carriers and solid perfume too.

This is a great little reference guide for both novices and hobbyists looking for a simple history and ‘how-to’ on getting started in simple perfumery. Having scoured many perfumery books, I like that this guide is direct and to the point, unlike many guides where you need to wade through a lot of information...everything you need is right there and easy to access without copious note taking required. Great dilution charts and tables (again- straightforward). Makes it easy to just get started...which is the point of the information given. I bought this book mainly because I was curious about the accuracy of the more critical reviews, but I have found a little gem for my perfumery reference library! Good work, ladies!! Thanks for simplifying and condensing this information in a clarified way for beginners. 👍🏻
