🍎 Scents of Time: Perfume from Ancient Egypt to the 21st Century Morris HC 1999

Scents of Time: Perfume from Ancient Egypt to the 21st Century by Edwin T. Morris Hardcover 1999 Out-of-print, this a very worthy addition to the fragrant bookshelf of anyone who’s fascinated by the history of perfume. It time-travels back through 1000 years and across many cultures, exploring and celebrating the role of fragrance in our world, showcasing many fragrance-related artefacts. There are brief sections on techniques for extraction, fragrance families and a basic glossary, but beyond that, the book beautifully uses paintings, lithography, photography and sculpture throughout – as you might expect from a book produced by one of the world’s greatest museums. Hardcover, 111 pages. Book only. First Edition, 1999. Measures 8 5/8” w x 8 1/4” l. Excellent condition, see photos. 🍎 Proceeds from the sale of this item will be donated to our local food bank.
