Articles written about fragrance appear on news web sites every day. Each title listed here represents a
snap shot of what was news worthy on that day. How long any particular article will remain on the web can
be from as little as a few hours to years. Periodicals prior to the web would publish an article, and that would
be it. Today an article will appear on a web site, and it can be linked to various news outlets within minutes.
Incorporate certain buzzwords, and there can be a news frenzy which can last days.
Locating information on fragrance prior to ten years ago is a difficult task. Much has been unfortunately
lost. Soap, Perfumes and Cosmetics a case in point was popular until forty years ago. When it folded it took
with it a fascinating database of information. Other publishers attempt to sell an individual article for five to
ten bucks a pop I doubt with much success. The search for the enclosed took over ten years to accomplish.
Again, how long an individual article will remain at a web site, or on the world wide web are part of the variables of finding data. Much of this was accomplished by following links, celebrities, names, perfume personalities, fragrance houses, fragrances, through various search engines.
A lot of folks are crazy about fragrance and its art in part due to the mystery and mystique, which surrounds it. Fully understanding the art lies in the hands of less then 1,000 individuals world wide. These individuals are known as a perfumer or nose. Outside this group of artists are layers and layers of sales, marketing, public relations, advertising, customer service, artistic directors, retail, laboratory technicians, etc., and of
course management. Stories are spun regarding the art, and what fragrance is and isnt.
News articles that appear on the world wide web run from one to three pages on average. Prior to the www
very little data would ever appear in print except in specialty magazines that cater to the fragrance industry.
Each article would offer a rare glimpse into the secretive world of this industry. Perfumers who are at the
heart of the art very rarely write books on the subject. Read enough articles on various topics one gets a good
idea how this business runs. Taking into account how the industry works today, or doesnt regarding the regulatory environment, ( IFRA ) is another angle of the business helping its decline.

My collection of articles and headlines is a fine one. Many of the articles are long gone. Where ever posA
sible I site the author. One realizes after awhile that it is very hard to make money on the world wide web. r
Posting an article or two at a web site may draw in an occasional visitor. However, when it is published in the t
html language one is actually giving away the work. Only possessing an official copyright from the Library
of Congress in Washington, D.C., does one safeguard his or hers intellectual property.

My website www.perfumerbook.com opened in spring of 2004 nearly eight years ago. I made a mistake
with my first book titled A Reference Book on Fragrance Ingredients by posting it for full viewing, and for
indirectly free down loading. Within six months I found sections of my book printed out at other web sites. I
had to threaten a law suit for the information to be removed by reminding the site owner that my book is copyrighted, and protected. In non of these cases was my authorship of the copied work mentioned at that site.
Since then I have reduced the viewing of my work to fifty percent. Each file has been encrypted with a
letter number combination including the disabling of the viewing format. Down load one of my books without my permission, and you will find it to be useless beyond my web site. Sell one copy one asks? Within a
month someone else will figure out how to make money with your own work. More then likely my books
would be sold elsewhere with no payment of royalties. Sadly until I can find a way to safely sell my work
without fear of duplication my website and manuscripts are just a hobby and will remain so.
The books that I have created on fragrance have been both a challenge, and joy. Every individual on the
planet earth has creative talent. Unfortunately many never find it, or for that matter make money with it. My
talent was the creative art of fragrance. Possessing wonderful analytical and organizational skills along with
superb memorization and reading abilities allowed me to learn the art quickly.
My former employer who I will not mention here found something rare and through it away. I was promoted to a junior perfumer in order for this company to gain a free copy of my first book titled A Reference
Book on Fragrance Ingredients then in rough notes. Before my creative talents had a chance to blossom I was
set up and pushed out the door in favor of a lazy family member. Today he is a perfumer, and is in charge of
the fragrance house creative affairs plus a member of the American Society of Perfumers earning big bucks.
Soon I found myself black-listed by these very same malicious individuals. I could have let this all go, but
decided get even creatively.
Then I didnt fully understand how thing worked in this industry. Soon I found myself on a master
blacklist unable to even work as an evaluator. I know now without a doubt that I never will be employed by
this industry again taking into account they feel I am disloyal by disclosing a lot of their secrets. Taking care
of an elderly much beloved mom during the past six years I researched this fine art. Collecting, collating and
deciphering the vast supply of information took a degree of skill and of course time. Shaping it into a usable
form is my creative strength.
Again, books on the art of fragrance are rare. I also realize possessing custom books to this fine art is also
something uncommon. Call it an obsession one asks? I would tend to agree. Most hobbies are a fascination.
Mine is with fragrance. The articles that are listed here are the very best that has appeared most during the
past ten years. Fashioning the data into a useable tool was challenging. In the end it was well rewarding considering the perfumer articles are the choicest part of this collection and represents close to 2,800 pages. The
interviews represents over 1,300 pages.
Why did I go through all of this trouble one asks? Information today is golden. The fragrance industry
banned me many years ago because I worked hard at learning something. I am self-taught artist, and am proud
of what I have accomplished. I read over 100 books on fragrance many written by perfumers. Not doing this
through an official apprenticeship program I soon realized a vindictive former employer set me up. I am much
like the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh. During his entire career I believe he didnt sell three of them. Today
his paintings are priceless each worth many millions of dollars.
Today I find my self on the outside looking in. Attempting to polish my first book lead to my second book,
and so on. Again, the enclosed articles offer a fascinating glimpse to a secretive art and industry that everyone loves, but most know nothing about. Whether I can ever post the actual articles is doubtful. Please note
non of my books on the art will ever be printable. The world wide web is a vast treasure house of data, but it
is difficult to find it let alone mold it. Folks will rob you blind in a second without a thought. For me it is
enough that I possess custom books to a fine art that no one so far has been able to duplicate. Again, whether
anyone has the skill set or desire to copy any of my work is hard to say. My site and work is well linked on
the world wide web.
Just take a look at Googles on going saga of snagging millions of orphan books from around the world.
Many of these books have authors who have passed on to their internal reward. Not listing an outright heir
leaves much of this work with murky ownership. Right now Google is trying to secure copyright ownership
through the courts without having to pay for it. If this lawsuit fails, and Google cant find a way to make
money with the books most will be forever lost. Google knows that the Library of Congress designates that
the author, and his or her heirs will own a completed book. Not finding an heir is what they are trying to take
advantage of, plus make money with this vast data base of knowledge.
This is part of the reason why I collected this information and tried to put it into a useable format. Desktop
publishing is a high-end art in itself. A skill that most folks on the world wide web lack.

The section encompassing the questions will be added at a later date. How to interview a perfumer of
course is at the heart of the art. In most cases however, the quesitons rarely varies. Prior to 2007 interview
articles were rather rare linked mostly to on line newspaper type-sites. After that it became popular for perfume blogs to ask the questions Personalities gave their time and expertise willingly. Depending on how
many pages it becomes it could end up as a separate book down the road. Just finding and deciphering the
enclosed articles took close to ten years of work. Its a secretive industry, and finding data took much research.
It is my opinion if one has a perfumer to interview ask him or her how they got into the art. Who was their
mentor, books read, the person or persons they apprenticed under. Which fragrance house did they work for
first. What was their first fragrance creation. What do they think about the current creative environment
( IFRA ). What do they think of the future of fragrance considering Givaudan, IFF and Symrise have set up
fine fragrance creative centers including schools in China, India and Brazil. Are they worried that down the
road the art is in danger of dying due to the computer. Are they concerned that consumers are being mislead
P
as to the dangers of fine fragrances due to synthetics. What is their opinion of the folks in advertising, mar- e
keting and public relations who provide exaggerations about what their craft is, and isnt.
r
To the point questions like this are being ignored because they are not glamorous. It is my understanding
if one doesnt keep ones mouth shut about the absence of natural materials in todays blends you will find
yourself on a black-list. Take into account one of International Flavors & Fragrances fine fragrance star perfumers who left the company late in 2008. Heres an individual who started his career at Proctor and Gamble
in Cincinnati possessing a chemistry degree from MIT. He joined IFF in 2000. It appeared he had a long and
prosperous career ahead of him. As far as I can determine he has been out of work since this departure. Once
one leaves any fragrance house today royalties earned on past successes ends with the leaving.

Since the beginning of 2011 another thing you rarely see are interviews by perfumers. Whether this is
something new is not known. The creative art of perfume is a wonderful art poorly understood by most of the
world's population. Letting folks in the advertising, marketing and public relations twist it into fantasies misleads the consumer, and indirectly I think has lead to its decline. Chandler Burr said that in one of his last artiA
cles, fine fragrances are similar to a pyramidal marketing scheme. Each new fragrance built on the last one. r
Getting cheaper all the time without essential oils incorporating fewer aroma materials.
t
At some point the consumer will get weary of the constant turn over and hype, and will eventually tune
out this expensive not needed product. That in itself should give the fragrance industry nightmares.
