Tuoksujen atlas - Ari Turunen
The Atlas of Fragrances takes you on a journey around the world with fragrances. Flowers, trees, spices and oils have always been a part of people's everyday life and well-being, as well as precious trade goods. The most valuable raw materials are each more special than the other, such as heartwood destroyed by bacteria, whale intestinal secretions or the seed pod of a vanilla orchid that blooms for one day once a year.
Processing various raw materials into perfume is a science that requires patience and skill, but also an art, where only the perfumer's imagination is the limit. Inspiration has been sought from desert oases, rainforests and the fresh lake landscapes of the north. Beautiful scents have also been inspired by art treasures, myths and stories, and love.
This fascinating cultural history work introduces 65 fragrances and takes the reader on a sensory journey with its stunning illustrations. Ari Turunen, a Licentiate in Political Science, is a non-fiction writer who specializes in the history of customs and culture.
