...CocopahRead it January 2022. I agree with Melipone, at times it's repetitive and unnecessarily long. Not a good writing style but great research and industry information, though.According to Oppenheim the C. family created a myth about the origins of the company (they lied, but when has marketing has been truthful?). They (ab-)used Mr Bourdon talents, never gave him credit for his compositions, and underpaying him terribly. On the other hand, Oppenheim did acknowledge that Creed has been an excellent evaluator and they never set cost limits about the quality of the ingredients. It is an interesting book worth reading.For me personally, reading the Ghost Perfumer marked a turning point on how I choose the perfumes I want to buy. As a rule I test before I buy and try to avoid YT reviews. Not to fall for the hype is a struggle and admittedly I´m not always successful. Would I still buy Creed perfumes, maybe... if I like the scent. I do have a regret from reading the book, I blind bought Judith Williams´ "L´Amour", Masterpiece by P. Bourdon. Nope. Can't spray it without my family protesting about how bad it is. Thanks Gabe ;)Nice, glad you enjoyed reading, Cocopah! 

...Excellent recommendations! Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

...Hi Parfumo friends!I was hoping you might help me choose a delicate and feminine scent to offer as a present to my mother:)I have La Vie est Belle by Lancôme in mind. What do you think? 

...If you've been searching for the PERFECT story to read, look no further than The Ghost Perfumer! Have you read it yet? Would love to discuss different points of view!Salah

...Exciter76The Guerlain "Art & Material" collection includes an atomizer.Nice choice! I like. x

...WinandVmasterNow that spring is almost here, I am curious as to what your favorite vetiver fragrance is.I personally would recommend Elie Saab Essence N6 Vetiver as the most modern and versatile vetiver sent.Guerlain Vetiver is the best classic Vetiver. Less refined and more harsh.Encre Noire by Lalique, Vetyverio by Diptyque, Sycomore by Chanel, Vetiver Oriental by Serge Lutens and Grey Vetiver by Tom Ford are worth checking out as well!I had Encre Noire in the past, WOW.
