The must-have perfume guide has been hailed as a masterpiece of criticism and invective. Over 400 new fragrances have been added to the original 1500 in this updated paperback. Perfumes: The Guide is the culmination of Luca Turin''s lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Tania Sanchez''s stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that she''s ever loved and loathed. Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest, compelling or downright entertaining.

Un libro que invita a redescubrir el misterio, el sentido y la alegría de lo cotidiano de la mano de los grandes filósofos de siempre.Lo que ocupa la mayor parte de nuestras vidas son experiencias aparentemente banales a las que no les damos demasiada importancia: la comida que ingerimos, los olores que percibimos o las conversaciones que mantenemos. Preferimos centrarnos en lo extraordinario, en lo que creemos que es unico, sin embargo, ¿por que lo cotidiano debe tener menos trascendencia? ¿Por que no le damos el verdadero valor que posee? Durante este paseo filosofico encontraremos objetos y lugares de nuestro dia a dia que nos haran cuestionarnos nuestra relacion con el mundo, con los demas y con nosotros mismos. Una pildora diaria de filosofia para lograr una vida mas plena.
