Paper Passion
Author: Geza Schoen
Publisher:
ISBN: 9783869305011
Category : Paper
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Paper Passion Perfume captures the unique bouquet of freshly printed books. Designed by boutique perfumer Geza Schoen in close consultation with Gerhard Steidl and in collaboration with Wallpaper* magazine, the perfume expresses that peculiar mix of paper and ink which gives a book its unmistakable aroma, along with the fresh scent which a book opened for the first time releases. Schoen spent days in the depths of the paper-filled Steidl headquarters in Göttingen, sifting through books, papers samples and inks, to find inspiration for a perfume that is true to books, wearable, and which ages well in time - just like a good book. It took Schoen seventeen trials to preserve in his words, "the right balance between the smell of paper as such and an enjoyable perfumistic aesthetic". The elaborate packaging of Paper Passion Perfume does more than justice to the perfume within. The packaging is a real book with a hidden cut-out compartment in which the bottle sits. The first pages of the book contain texts on the pleasures of paper and the Paper Passion project by Nobel Laureate Günter Grass, Karl Lagerfeld, Geza Schoen and Wallpaper* Editor-in-Chief Tony Chambers. The end product is a unique perfume, an homage to the luxurious sensuality of books and in Karl Lagerfeld's words, "the silent smell of paper".

Past Scents
Author: Jonathan Reinarz
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252096029
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
In this comprehensive and engaging volume, medical historian Jonathan Reinarz offers a historiography of smell from ancient to modern times. Synthesizing existing scholarship in the field, he shows how people have relied on their olfactory sense to understand and engage with both their immediate environments and wider corporal and spiritual worlds. This broad survey demonstrates how each community or commodity possesses, or has been thought to possess, its own peculiar scent. Through the meanings associated with smells, osmologies develop--what cultural anthropologists have termed the systems that utilize smells to classify people and objects in ways that define their relations to each other and their relative values within a particular culture. European Christians, for instance, relied on their noses to differentiate Christians from heathens, whites from people of color, women from men, virgins from harlots, artisans from aristocracy, and pollution from perfume. This reliance on smell was not limited to the global North. Around the world, Reinarz shows, people used scents to signify individual and group identity in a morally constructed universe where the good smelled pleasant and their opposites reeked. With chapters including "Heavenly Scents," "Fragrant Lucre," and "Odorous Others," Reinarz's timely survey is a useful and entertaining look at the history of one of our most important but least-understood senses.

Book Description
A beautifully made scent can encapsulate a particular feeling, transport you to a very specific time in life with clarity, or remind you of a special loved one or friend. And just like wearing your favorite outfit or shoes, your favorite perfume can make you feel invincible. The question is, how do you find such a creation? With the number of new releases steadily increasing, it can be bewildering even attempting to find a perfume you like, let alone love. In Perfume, Neil Chapman guides readers through a world that can at times seem overwhelming. Fragrances of every variety are listed 'note by note' in clearly divided categories that will steer you in the direction of a perfume you not only like, but love and cherish as 'your' signature scent. Chapters explore popular notes (for example, vanilla, sandalwood, jasmine, rose, patchouli, chocolate) or a broader identifiable group (such as 'oceanics', 'green florals' or 'anti-perfume'), giving an insight into that particular category as well as a clear sense of the similarities and differences between the scents described within it. Featuring over 700 scents, from vintage perfumes to department store classics, rarities and niche boutique fragrances, Perfume is a true portal into the beautiful world of perfume. The further you go on this journey, the more you will be amazed by how many beautiful creations do exist if you take the time to look.

Another World

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 522
Book Description
There is another world out there, a world of Magic and Demons, a world that I am still learning about. I’m a new Lamiahaem Demon, I wasn’t always like this. Before my change I was a Witch who could read minds. I have recently found out that my sister Taylor and I come from a long line of Witches, it’s in our blood. We have been told it goes back seven generations; maybe even further. We are different from other Witches and Warlocks, we don’t use spells. Taylor and I discovered a lot of information about our family and our childhood. We didn’t remember much, because our Nanna Elsie had played with our memories. She erased memories of a childhood full of Demons that had threatened us. We both know that our grandmother and our parents had all the best intentions, but ever since they did this I’d been having nightmares every night. A lifetime of nightmares, no wonder I was always tired and occasionally a bit irritable. I have three human children, children that have remained with me. They live with their Demon great grandfather, Pops. There not really children, they’re young adults now. They’re all mind readers, Dillon is much stronger, he can ‘hear’ a lot further, James has visions in his sleep and Nikki has started to learn that she has a bit of magic in her as well. They get their abilities from my side, my ex husband had been an average human, just a very violent man. I’m also going to be a grandmother, not something I was very happy about in the beginning. Dillon’s fiancée Kylie is pregnant; she has the ability to calm a room full of angry thoughts. James’s girlfriend Suzanne is also pregnant; Suzanne is able to see the story behind the spoken word. I woke from my second sleep in January, that was just over four months ago, I’m a little different to the rest of our species. Where they all have abilities like tasting relationships, seeing visions or feeling illnesses and injuries, I have kept my magic which was something else that wasn’t normal. To keep my magic strong I need to sleep, this was according to my new father in law Simon. This is because all my magic comes from my mind, and not spells, so I need to be rested and in a good frame of mind. The only mind I could still hear was my husband’s. We also discovered that when I looked in a mirror I would see how one would look if they hadn’t been changed. My mother in law, Julie, is 407 years old it wasn’t a pretty picture, so I no longer looked in mirrors. Looking out of my own eyes though, she looked normal, not a walking skeleton. My new husband is a 134 year old Lamiahaem and is my soul mate. We married 14 months ago after a whirlwind romance. Jack is a mind reader he can hear everybody. He has unofficially adopted my children, changing their names to Carter like ours, they think he is the best and Jack returns the sentiment. Jack has a brother Jonathon who is married to Tania and a sister Charmaine who is married to Tony, they are all Lamiahaem Demons, and they all have different abilities. There is an uncle who is a Vampire, Jones; he is a brilliant loving man, he’s married to my sister Taylor, she’s a human and has recently found her magic. We all live together, it makes for interesting times. To pass the time we like to play practical jokes on each other, brothers versus sisters. At the moment, the sisters are in front. All of my family supports the Guard. The Guards, whose sole purpose is to protect humans, from being indiscriminately eaten or drank by Demons of any kind. We aren’t full time Guard, we are on call, and when they call my family goes without question. The Guard are run by The Elders, Jack’s grandfather Pops, is one of the founding members, and he is still in charge. There are other Demons that are in the Guard. Jorgenhan, that could tell straight away if you were lying or not. Siren’s, who were perfectly stunning women who could make most men do their every bidding, Casanova’s who did the same to w
