The fragrance poet Paul Divjak, following "The Scent of the World," dedicates himself to a special story of scent: that of the perfumed man. Alongside an introductory cultural history of men's perfume, he provides a stylish overview of the best fragrances from the 19th century to the present day. From the overwhelming spray mist, he has selected five perfumes to illustrate what makes a good scent. And how have the roles associated with perfumes changed over the decades? How can we describe the signification and transience of fragrances? You will find the answers to these questions in this book, along with numerous tips and perfume recommendations. For one thing is certain: it is an art to smell good!.
