Perfumery Educational Resources

[Guest guest]

Hello All,

So I am currently searching for new information to further my self-education as

a distiller, natural perfumer, and aromatherapist. I have the Archtander -

Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin and the Guenther books, as well

as many older books in the era of Septimus Piesse's work.

I am specifically looking for a couple of new books that will give me details

about perfume blending techniques including specifics about use of modifiers,

bridge notes, accessory notes, harmonizers, bouquetting, ect. Specific

percentage use and aging information would also be most helpful. While I do not

use synthetics, I do carry out fractional distillations and am very interested

in isolates..so a manual that covers synthetics and naturals would be ok. So

far I am pondering purchase of the following:

The H & R Books - by Muller, Worner, Egon Oelkers

Volume 1: The H & R Book of Perfume

Volume 2: Fragrance guide to Feminine Notes

Volume 3: Fragrance Guide to Masculine Notes

Introduction to Perfumery by Tony Curtis and

Perfume Legends - French Feminine Fragrances by

Perfumery Practice and Principles by RR Calkin and JS Jellinek

Secrets of the Still by Mrs. Firth also looks very appealing - does this book

contain lots of specifics on all different types of plant distillations?

I am also looking for the most up to date Aromatherapy manual I can find - one

that covers most of the available essential oil and has good safety information.

Any feedback would be greatly appreciate...thanks so much!

Warmly,

Hi Jessie,

I know I have all these, but I need to check if I have all these in duplicate.

Al, new, unopened, creaky new!

Drop me a note if you decide to buy. I think you can find and check the books

via inter library loans. I might actually sell them all for the right price.

They are not cheap <g>.
