Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Jacket and illustrations by Diana Sanchez (illustrator). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with full number line. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, some faint pink smudges to bottom white stripes of front jacket (lipstick?), not price clipped (£20.00), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy, looks almost unread. 384pp, illustrated. 'Perfumes: The Guide' is the culmination of Luca Turin's lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the largely unrecognised craft of perfume making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest, compelling or downright entertaining. Quite a scarce book. Seller Inventory # 011798
