Among the first ten I chose only one is available for sale at Amazon. I would gladly translate a good old book on perfumery with expired rights and then have it prefaced by one of you. Aftel*s book is among his private collection of books on perfumery. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than nothing! I understand his position, what if 800+ asked him the same favor? I*m going to try getting the first 2 books from Amazon and the likes first. I chose to start with: Initiation à la formulation des parfums (see how easy it is to understand French) by René Laruelle Ayrel 2002 and one of two books by Yves René Naves Les parfums naturels Gauthier Villars 1939 or Technologie et chimie des parfums naturels Masson & co 1974 I wonder if Mr. Naves is still alive? He would be 87 years old today if he wrote the first one at age 20. I find this compilation of books very informative and entertaining for our purpose. also the following sound interesting: Essences naturelles et parfums Delange Armand Colin 1930 Les Essences et les Parfums extraction fabrication Antonin Rolet Hachette 1908 Fabrication des Essences et des Parfums J. P. Durvelle J. Fritsch 1893 Réedité Desforges Girardet 1930 One of the books has a chapter on the Method of Carles: Le grand livre des Parfums (contient chapitre sur méthode Carles, pages 161 à 182) Irving KAUFMAN, Ed. Minerva Vilo, 1974 ISBN : 0-525-49506-1 Traduction de Michèle Moroz Ed. orig.: Dutton, New York, 1994. Two books by our dear Luca Turin are there along with a book by COTY that has nothing to do with perfume and should please the true American in you: Contre le communisme François COTY, Grasset, 1928 Rien sur le parfum, mais ce livre polémique éclaire bien une des facettes de la personnalité de François Coty. I had a lot of fun reading all this today and am ready for the books. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only place I was able to find the first book on my short list was at Les Musées de Grasse, but that was the only book they had from my list: http://www.museesdegrasse.com/boutique/asp_fr/detail_livre.asp?ID=123 & Det=1 & TVA=\ 2 Initiation à la Formulation by René Laruelle who is a perfumer who wrote many books on the subject wasn*t a bad choise, because it is part of the syllabus at the Université de Monpellier. The book is very recent 2002, so I will attempt to reach the editor to find out if it was translated into English or if they need my services. If the contents are worthwhile I will translate the gist of it for the group without encroaching on any copyright. The second book on my short list was from 1939, Les Parfums Naturels by Yves René Naves & G. Mazuyet, I would have to find out when and how copyrights expire, but I believe its fair game. I believe that Naves was a precursor to natural perfumers today. I think that at the end of the day it will all boil down to the trio bergamot/rose/incense plus maybe something woody, spicy, fruity or aromatic. hahaha. n Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
