Author Curtis/Williams
This is a perfumery textbook from the 90’s for a course at Plymouth University The book contains much of the information in the course notes so makes it a lot more cost effective to study although of course you don’t get the qualification.
The course and book are designed for those in or intending to go into the commercial fragrance industry so there is also a lot of material on marketing and the structure of a fragrance house which may not be so interesting for some.
It has the materials profiles which are a good reference and the fragrance formulae they include. Also as it is a text book, there are exercises and experiments to do – so a great learning tool.
