Listening to Scent: An Olfactory Journey with Aromatic Plants and Their Extracts
Listening to Scent is such an appropriate title for this fascinating and important book. Within its pages, Jennifer Peace Rhind teaches us how to train our noses and our olfactory palate to listen to and appreciate the subtle nuances of essential oils, absolutes and other natural aromatics. While many natural perfumery and essential oil blending guides exist, Listening to Scent delves deeper into olfactory training and than most aromatherapy-related blending publications and guides. In addition to its enlightening chapters contained within Part I Listening to Scent, the publication also contains olfactory profiles for about 45 essential oils categorized into 11 categories. See the Table of Contents below to view the categories. Each profile provides the botanical name and plant parts used to produce the oil, odour profile, olfactory notes and a section that offers a comparison of the oil with other related essential oils. Description from the Back CoverAlthough many of us actively use our sense of smell, and enjoy the sensations it brings, relatively few of us take the time to educate and train the 'nose', our olfactory palate. Introducing a process that is both therapeutic and enjoyable, Jennifer Peace Rhind explores how anyone, especially anyone interested in fragrance, aromatherapy or natural perfumery, can develop their sense of smell. She explains the skills involved, from olfactory vocabulary, awareness and memory through to discrimination and fragrance creation, and describes activities that help develop these skills, including group events inspired by the Japanese art of koh-do or the 'way of incense'. She also includes the odour profiles of a variety of scent families to accompany the process. About the Author (From Back of Book)Jennifer Peace Rhind is a Chartered Biologist with qualifications in massage and aromatherapy. She has experience as a therapist and partner in a complementary healthcare clinic and as a lecturer in Complementary Healthcare in Higher Education. Table of Contents for Listening to Scent
