Hello Basenoters,
I am here to ask for your suggestions on books that deal with problems/issues in perfumery, either at the national or global level. Topics may include perfume productions impact on the environment, intellectual property rights on scents, disputes between states and foreign companies over the right to harvest raw materials, trade and tax issues, interesting historical developments in perfumery, etc. Anything along the lines of social, political, or economical dilemmas (past or current) related to the perfume industry would be excellent.
I am a junior in college, and I would like to start thinking about research topics for a term paper that will eventually expand into my senior thesis. Perfumery has nothing to do with my major, International Studies, but in order for me to come up with 60 pages of original bullsh**, I need to somehow weave in my love of perfume to motivate me.
Any advice would be MUCH appreciated. Thank you.
Respectfully yours,
Stephanie

PS: I did a BN forum search for books, but none I came across seemed to address the social, political, econ., aspects of the perfume business, except maybe Nigel Grooms books, which I will go look for.
PPS: I really wanted to post this under Male Fragrance Discussion, but alas, my thread is unrelated.
