Book: Ginger in perfumery – Collective

Originally from Southeast Asia, ginger has spread to Madagascar, where its production is now the most important for perfumery. ­ A universal remedy par excellence, it is known as much for its culinary qualities as for its supposed aphrodisiac virtues... Its essential oil diffuses a juicy, lemony, spicy and peppery scent, oscillating between freshness and warmth. ­ Discover all the facets of this beneficial root: botany, history, mixology, agriculture, chemistry, without forgetting of course perfumes and perfumers.
