Description:"This book is about the perfumes which were commonly made and sold in the perfumeries and chemists’ shops in Britain over a period of some two hundred years from about the beginning of the eighteenth century, soon after Jean-Antoine Farina moved from Italy to settle in the German city of Cologne, which gave its name to the most popular toilet water of all time." So begins Perfumes of Yesterday, which provides a fascinating account of the development of perfumery, as it progressed mainly from the seventeenth to the twentieth centuries. It focuses particularly on the Victorian and Edwardian eras in Britain, but also follows the parallel development of perfumery in other countries in Europe. The book’s purpose is to provide a study of the old and mostly simple examples of the perfumer’s art in order to gain some insight into the ancestry, and therefore a better understanding, of the more complex fragrances of today, themselves already the progenitors of the perfumes of tomorrow. The historical approach of the first part of the book gives context to its main section – formularies of perfumes and toilet waters that have been gathered from published articles and books dating from or before the 1920s and which relate mostly to perfumes of much earlier origin, some from as far back as the eighteenth century, when chemistry had yet to become an exact science and the possibility of its application to perfumery quite beyond imagination. One recipe for an Eau de Cologne dates from 1700. Following each formula is a discussion of various aspects of the its composition; the geographical and botanical sources of its ingredients and the method of extraction of its essential oils; its odour properties and the fragrance effects resulting from its particular combination of ingredients – and, here, an analysis of the composition of some of the apparently simple perfumes reveals a staggering complexity of major, minor and trace components.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
