Tania Sanchez Reihenfolge der Bücher (Chronologisch)

From 2003 to 2014, scientist and perfume critic Luca Turin (The Secret of Scent, Perfumes: the A-Z Guide) wrote two widely admired columns for distinguished Swiss magazine NZZ Folio. First in the "Duftnote" he discussed all things smellable, from Blue Stratos to Mitsouko and the fragrance of a particular Air France jet. Afterward in "Either/Or" he helped readers examine the relative merits of such as heels vs. flats, trains vs. trams, or Captain Nemo vs. Captain Haddock. Written in Turin's inimitable and highly quotable style, full of passionately held opinions on subjects major and minor, pulling on culture high and low, Old World and New, aesthetic and scientific, these essays were some of the best loved parts of the magazine. However, the columns were only intermittently available in English. This is the first time many of these writings have been published in the original. Included are four feature articles also published in NZZ Folio, plus a foreword written by his co-author of Perfumes: the A-Z Guide, Tania Sanchez.

Eine Nase voll Glück – Entdeckungsreise in die Welt der Parfums. Warum öffnet sich der Himmel über uns, wenn wir unser Lieblingsparfum auflegen? Was hat Glockengeläut am Ostermorgen mit einer Kreation von Estée Lauder zu tun? Und weshalb können wir manche Leute einfach nicht riechen? 'Das kleine Buch der großen Parfums' präsentiert einhundert legendäre Klassiker und ist eine fundierte Einführung in die Welt der Parfümerie. Von Angel bis Vol de Nuit, vom scheuen Blumenduft über das männliche Urparfum bis hin zu den großen Düften der Geschichte, die im Versailler Parfummuseum lagern: Alles ist so sinnlich-nuanciert beschrieben, dass die Lektüre zum Erlebnis wird. 'Dieses Buch kann man nicht genug empfehlen.' Elle 'Nach der Lektüre gibt es nur eins: auf zur nächsten Parfümerie.' The New York Times

It also features introductions to women's and men's fragrances, to trends and to history and chemistry; a glossary and many 'Top Ten' lists; and an informative section on frequently asked questions. A truly unique and useful guide, one written with a passion for its subject, and a perfect gift.SAMPLE EXTRACTSChinatown (Bond.
