Perfume Collector’s Fragrance Note
- Written by ISP, published by Piper Press

108 fragrance notes and 189 perfumes introduced by vintage perfume collector ISP!
The book will guide you through everything you need to know about perfumes, both familiar and unfamiliar.

Think of the refreshing scent of flowers on the street, the pleasant smell of a person passing by, the sweet smell of chocolates gifted by a friend - we come across good, memorable scents in our daily lives or at unexpected moments. And we often wonder, “What is this smell?” or “I would love to sniff it again and again.” Here, the book Perfume Collector’s Fragrance Note is for both perfume lovers and anyone who has ever been curious about “fragrance.”
Did you know that niche perfume brands like Le Labo and Jo Malone often name their products straight from the fragrance notes or the ingredients? That is why it can be difficult to find your favorite scent if you don’t know the types of fragrance notes and ingredients. If you have ever been an unsuccessful perfume shopper, or if you are planning to gift perfume to a loved one, this book is a must-read.
The writer is a vintage perfume collector, who is so passionate about fragrance that he grows the plants that perfumes are made from, and extracts the scents himself at home. In this book, he explains not only the 108 fragrance notes and 189 perfumes, but also how scents are discovered, how they are extracted, and the characteristics of perfumes, in a simple and informative way. What could be more authentic than information from someone who has experienced and explored it firsthand? So, why not read Perfume Collector’s Fragrance Note - a book filled with everything you didn’t know about scents and perfumes - and add a little fragrance to your life?
