<b>A cartography of fragrance that charts the botany and geography of perfume composition.</b> <p/>For perfume makers, each smell carries with it a multitude of associations and impressions that must be carefully analyzed and understood before the sum of all its parts emerges.

Ellena offers a varied and fascinating cartography of fragrances, tracing historical connections and cultural exchanges.
