Fragonard book

Fragonard 

The Perfume of Provence.
Before perfume was a bottle on a shelf, it belonged to the earth.
To fields heavy with flowers. To gardens planted for their scent. To the hands that knew when a blossom should be cut, when an absolute was ready, and how something fleeting could be preserved long after the flower itself had disappeared.
This beautiful book takes us back into that world Provence, its gardens, its perfumery and the history from which so much of the language of fragrance was born.
Perhaps that is why it feels so at home at Zingaro.
We have always believed perfume is more than something worn on the skin. It is botany, memory, composition, place and time  carried forward from one generation of perfumers to the next. A book for the coffee table to reference time and time again.
A beautiful new arrival for the library at Zingaro.
