Description
For 250 years, Givaudan has created perfumes and flavours of the highest quality, innovating and inspiring trends in scent and taste. Dior, Saint Laurent, and Prada turned to Givaudan to create J’adore, Opium, Infusion d’iris, and more. With the best chefs, Givaudan has created new tastes from the finest natural ingredients. Here, scientists, philosophers and historians explore the history and science of perfumes and flavours, and stunning photo-essays reveal the beauty of harvests around the world—the sources of Givaudan’s creations. Including a short story by Percy Kemp, the book reveals the ways in which tastes and scents engage the senses and enhance life.
