From the New York Times perfume critic, a stylish, fascinating, unprecedented insider's view of the global perfume industry, told through two creators working on two very different scents. No journalist has ever been allowed into the ultrasecretive, highly pressured process of originating a perfume. But Chandler Burr, the New York Times perfume critic, spent a year behind the scenes observing the creation of two major fragrances. Now, writing with wit and elegance, he juxtaposes the stories of the perfumes -- one created by a Frenchman in Paris for an exclusive luxury-goods house, the other made in New York by actress Sarah Jessica Parker and Coty, Inc., a giant international corporation. We follow Coty's mating of star power to the marketing of perfume, watching Sex and the City's Parker heading a hugely expensive campaign to launch a scent into the overcrowded celebrity market. Will she match the success of Jennifer Lopez? Does she have the international fan base to drive worldwide sales? In Paris at the elegant Hermès, we see Jean Claude Ellena, his company's new head perfumer, given a challenge: he must create a scent to resuscitate Hermès's perfume business and challenge le monstre of the industry, bestselling Chanel No. 5. Will his pilgrimage to a garden on the Nile supply the inspiration he needs? The Perfect Scent is the story of two daring creators, two very different scents, and a billion-dollar industry that runs on the invisible magic of perfume.

New York Times scent critic Chandler Burr spent a year behind the scenes of the perfume industry -- one of the most secretive, glamorous, and lucrative in all the realm of luxury goods. The result is a remarkable work of reporting on both art and business, a nuanced portrait of two dissimilar people, Jean-Claude Ellena and Sarah Jessica Parker, who had one thing in common: their quest to create the perfect scent. Ellena was hired by Hermes in Paris to create a fragrance that will rival Chanel No. 5, the perfume that has, for 90 years, dominated sales around the globe. In New York, Coty enlists Parker, a star and style icon, to create a celebrity perfume. She is ¿obsessed with scent,¿ and every aspect of the perfume will bear her artistic imprint.

Alexandra Hudson, a famous former top-model who inherited her father’s multi-billion-dollar cosmetic company, now faces the challenge of her life. After her father’s death, she finds herself amid financial bankruptcy and the eventual loss of her company. But her father had a plan that would save Alexandra and his company. Before his passing, he began developing a new perfume that would revolutionize the industry of cosmetics. The perfume he called THE PERFECT SCENT. Before he could create the perfume, his untimely death left his only daughter with no clues to reproduce the fragrance he had found. Desperately trying to find the Perfect Scent and running against time, Alexandra employs a slew of chemists to work on her father’s last perfume, but no one knows what the perfect scent is. Until one day, Alexandra hires a young chemist called Shawn Mathews, a former dirt-bike racer that has more in common with her late father than just his passion for creating perfumes. Alexandra tasks Shawn with the impossible job of finding the Perfect Scent and gives him an ultimatum. Shawn promises her that he will not only find the Perfect Scent but that he is also the man who will change her life!

A sudden love affair with fragrance leads to sensual awakening, self-transformation, and an unexpected homecoming At thirty-six—earnest, bookish, terminally shopping averse—Alyssa Harad thinks she knows herself. Then one day she stumbles on a perfume review blog and, surprised by her seduction by such a girly extravagance, she reads in secret. But one trip to the mall and several dozen perfume samples later, she is happily obsessed with the seductive underworld of scent and the brilliant, quirky people she meets there. If only she could put off planning her wedding a little longer. . . . Thus begins a life-changing journey that takes Harad from a private perfume laboratory in Austin, Texas, to the glamorous fragrance showrooms of New York City and a homecoming in Boise, Idaho, with the women who watched her grow up. With warmth and humor, Harad traces the way her unexpected passion helps her open new frontiers and reclaim traditions she had rejected. Full of lush description, this intimate memoir celebrates the many ways there are to come to our senses.

An erotic masterpiece of twentieth century fiction - a tale of sensual obsession and bloodlust in eighteenth century Paris 'An astonishing tour de force both in concept and execution' Guardian In eighteenth-century France there lived a man who was one of the most gifted and abominable personages in an era that knew no lack of gifted and abominable personages. His name was Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, and if his name has been forgotten today. It is certainly not because Grenouille fell short of those more famous blackguards when it came to arrogance, misanthropy, immorality, or, more succinctly, wickedness, but because his gifts and his sole ambition were restricted to a domain that leaves no traces in history: to the fleeting realm of scent . . . 'A fantastic tale of murder and twisted eroticism controlled by a disgusted loathing of humanity . .. Clever, stylish, absorbing and well worth reading' Literary Review 'A meditation on the nature of death, desire and decay . . . A remarkable début' Peter Ackroyd, The New York Times Book Review 'Unlike anything else one has read. A phenomenon . . . [It] will remain unique in contemporary literature' Figaro 'An ingenious and totally absorbing fantasy' Daily Telegraph 'Witty, stylish and ferociously absorbing' Observer
