A New Classic for the Perfume Industry: Essential Oils: Art, Agriculture, Science, Industry and Entrepreneurship: a Focus on the Asia-Pacific Region by Murray Hunter
The blog post today is the Table of Contents of the book:
Essential Oils: Art, Agriculture, Science, Industry and Entrepreneurship: a Focus on the Asia-pacific Region by Murray Hunter
My review of this must-have book is on Basenotes, click here to read the review. The book is massive, informative and although the title may fool you into thinking it's just for those who are interested in EOs in the Asia-Pacific region - it's not. Just peruse this nine-page (single spaced) TOC. It's a legacy book, it must have taken decades to compile, and I have it on my shelf next to Arctander, Guenther, et al.
