You can do that with any subject, really, it's just that perfume, maybe because it's invisible and so hard to connect with words, is that much more of a writing generator.<br />As for the next project, it's kind of macerating in my mind...carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-16646088066628423522013-06-09T03:46:27.118+02:002013-06-09T03:46:27.118+02:00Hello Again from Montreal! I finished your book a...Hello Again from Montreal! I finished your book an hour ago and just had to comment again. It was absolutely brilliant; and so poetic and vivid! I had not fully realized WHY I found perfumery so fascinating until I consciously recognized through your book the patterns, the CONNECTIONS, of so many beautiful and intriguing things: nature, alchemy, raw materials, travel, chemistry, poetry, symbolism, reality, Islamic culture, memories, art, people, history, images/photography, literature, emotions, production processes, food, economics ...... I also can now appreciate far better the effort and skill that goes into making a master-piece. Thank you for the enlightenment and thank you also to Bertrand for his enthusiasm and openness to share! Finally, I must say I am also quite envious of your experience of such a fruitful and creative, collaborative exercise; I find nothing beats the high of great teamwork that culminates in the fruition of a vision. I can't wait for your next book or initiative. Perhaps you would consider writing more on the history of perfume?

I did actually do an reading at the Westmount public library when I came through in April, but sadly, the new stocks of Séville à l'aube hadn't arrived in North America, so it was kind of pointless to do an event at Ogilvy's... I'm aghast to find out the shipment isn't in yet! But touched by your kind words about my book, thank you.carmencanada /Grain de Muschttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04046101625425953248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4922907157797061660.post-33899801303411178092013-06-01T03:40:02.293+02:002013-06-01T03:40:02.293+02:00Bonjour from Montreal!

I've gotten totally enamoured with discovering perfumes in the last six months and was sniffing Duchafour's Enchanted Forest and was on the hunt for smelling Seville a L'Aube when I also ordered an electronic copy of your book. I had no idea of the connection between you and Duchafour and you and Montreal. What a happy coincidence! Now if only Ogilvy's would call to confirm that they've received their shipment of Seville a L'Aube .....Thanks for bringing the world of scent to life with such clarity and rich imagery.

I will revel next week, since I have a book signing in a perfume shop, and this time lots of people I know will be able to come -- friends, but also some of the perfumers in the book, my students, fellow French bloggers...
