Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin is an excellent book to utilize for learning more about the scent profiles and background details of various essential oils, absolutes and other aromatic materials that are derived from plant and animal materials.
Originally written in 1960, this is an affordably priced reprint.
Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin contains hundreds of monographs of aromatic ingredients/materials. The monographs vary in length and information. Most are approximately 1/2 page each.
This book isn't suitable for use as a stand-alone book for essential oil monographs. You won't find safety or therapeutic usage information here. Having said that, the monographs within Perfume and Flavor Materials of Natural Origin expand upon the traditional essential oil and absolute monographs that we find in aromatherapy texts.
Arctander does a beautiful job describing the aroma of the aromatics that he profiles in his aromatics. This book is a lovely reference for use in learning more about the country of origin, distillation information and unique details that are not typically available in traditional essential oil monographs. It also includes over 60 black and white photos of various botanicals, fields, distillation equipment.
As it was written in 1960, you will find some information to be obsolete. There, however, is still a lot of insightful information to be gleaned from this publication.
