Quintessentially Publishing have launched a new perfume book entitled Quintessentially Perfume. The book was compiled by perfume expert, Nathalie Grainger, and Roja Dove acted as creative director. The book features profiles on a range of brands, interviews with perfumers and general perfume articles, with contributions from Chandler Burr, Josephine Fairley and more.

Amongst the interviewees featured in the book are: Camille Goutal & Isabelle Doyen, Jean-François Latty, Bertrand Duchaufour, Linda Pilkington, Thorsten Biehl, Olivia Giacobetti and Geza Schoen.

Below is a short clip from the Quintessentially website, where Grainger talks a little about the book, and you have the chance to see some of the inside.

Quintessentially Perfume is available to buy at www.quintessentiallypublishing.com, Amazon, Avery and R.D.Franks. Senteurs d’Ailleurs in Brussels will be stocking it from the 3rd week in June.

We will be featuring a review shortly.

      Looks interesting, but already out of print and unavailable at Amazon USA; temporarily out of print at Amazon UK. Shipping from Quintessentially Perfume to the USA (to Connecticut) came up at £14.50.

      I'll ask about USA.

      Would be interesting reading ! I hope it will be more available here in the US .

      Must look on Amazon UK and put it on Wishlist, I am in the UK. We might have to wait for a reprint by the look of it though.

      I must put it on Wishlist on Amazon UK, I live in the UK anyway.

      But I think we will have to wait for a reprint no matter where we live.

      The link to the video doesn't work

    • 30 Roses | 15th June 2010 13:35

      I tried it again and the video works for me...

    • kwhitney | 15th June 2010 18:19

      I see a big black rectangle. That's it. No video controls or anything in the black

      Grant, Nathalie, or anybody from QP - may I submit the image above to Amazon for their website picture? With your permission, I can upload it. Thanks.

      The video seems to work on some browsers but not others. I'm not sure what's causing that
