The only really interesting fact I learned from this book is that 'a Nose', the perfumer's expert who actually puts together those high-priced little bottles of scent that are the essence of the unnecessary, the luxurious, actually can't smell fine distinctions outside of his speciality. That is, he isn't actually more gifted at identifying the fine gradations of odours, but is trained to do so with certain fragrances. Send him to a whisky distillery and he would not able to distinguish all the complex flavours and aromas any better than anyone else who had a sensitive nose but no training.
What is slightly odd about all this, is that women have a much more sensitive sense of smell than me, but all the perfumers' Noses are men. Still. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
Final verdict: totally boring, but not unreadable. Two stars.… (altro)
