The Library of Scents

You enjoyed learning about fragrances during Candora’s workshop ?
Here is an other Fun Fact !

C’est ma madeleine de Proust. “It’s my Proust’s madeleine.”

This French expression refers to a universal phenomenon: for each of us, there is some fragrance, some flavor that, like Marcel Proust’s little cake dipped in lime-blossom tea, unleashes a flood of memories. Who has never had this thought, this experience of the sheer power of our memory of scents? 

At Candora’s invitation, the celebrated French novelist and passionate devotee of fragrance Ingrid Astier leads you on a multisensory journey through our library of scents, telling the fascinating stories of all 21 fragrances: Damask Rose, Oud, Bigarade Orange, Vetiver . . .

The book also comes in a Luxury edition with a box containing 21 mini bottles of the fragrances : here.
