'I've long wished perfumery to be taken seriously as an art, and
for scent critics to be as fierce as opera critics, and for the
wearers of certain "fragrances" to be hissed in public, while
others are cheered. This year has brought Perfumes: The Guide by
Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, which I breathed in, rather than
read, in one delighted gulp.' Hilary Mantel, Guardian Perfumes: The
Guide is the culmination of Turin's lifelong obsession and rare
scientific flair and Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about
every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a
fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of
perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this
honest, compelling or downright entertaining.
