In Search of Scents

Sourcing the World’s Perfumes
Publisher Grasset
An olfactory world tour with perfume industry veteran Dominique Roques, meeting the people who grow the ingredients in our most beautiful fragrances.

Perfume holds us in its thrall. It surrounds us, makes memories and awakens them, saturates our sensual experiences, and evokes refinement and sophistication, in association with prestigious names. Every perfume has a wealth of ingredients–up to 80 extracts from flowers, fruits, and bark grown and gathered worldwide–each with their own stories.
For the last 30 years, Dominique Roques has traveled the world seeking 150 different raw materials from over 50 countries, all to supply perfumers with a first-class palette of extracts. Join him on his journey in the eternal pursuit of excellence.
