AMERICAN LEGENDS

PERFUME LEGENDS II

Perfume Legends revolutionised perfumery in 1996. Never before had perfumers spoken openly about their work and the sources of their inspiration. In 2019, Michael Edwards updated his cult book, which uses new research and stunning images to illustrate 52 perfume legends from Jicky to Portrait of a Lady. “There is no other book like it”, wrote celebrated perfumer Edmond Roudnitska. 25 years later, his statement still holds true.
