LIBRARY OF RESOURCES
Constantly growing list of books and articles that inspire me and that I collect along this olfactory journey. It is often difficult to access quality information on perfumery and the sense of smell, so some books are ready to download in pdf, other links direct you to where you can buy them. Let's read and smell each other more!
