Fragrant by Mandy Aftel (Paperback)
The 2025 paperback edition of Fragrant has revised recipes for making body oils, liquid perfumes, and solid perfumes; they now incorporate the broader palette of natural materials and refined approaches to perfume structure that Mandy Aftel has developed in her teaching over the last decade.
Fragrant explores the profound connection between our sense of smell and the appetites that move us, give us pleasure, and make us fully alive. Come meet the five rock-star essences: Cinnamon, queen of the Spice Route, elicits our hunger for the unknown, the exotic, the luxurious; Mint, homegrown the world over, speaks to our affinity for the familiar, the native, the authentic; Frankincense, an ancient incense ingredient, taps into our longing for transcendence; Ambergris, embodying our unquenchable curiosity; and exquisite Jasmine, exemplifying our yearning for beauty, both evanescent and enduring.
Mandy Aftel is an internationally known artisan perfumer and award-winning author. She has participated in many exhibitions, panels and conferences on scent and food, and regularly collaborates with chefs and mixologists. She and her work have been featured in The New York Times, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Food and Wine, O, and Elle, on CNN, and in countless blogs. She lives in Berkeley, CA.
