Book: Potpourri – Maïté Turonnet

“Here: I am going to tell my life story. At least my life through the prism of smells. So many events of existence, big or small, are linked to things felt as well as experienced, to smelly or sweet environments, to remarkable tastes. » Plunging into the archives as well as into her long memory, Maïté Turonnet pays a tribute as erudite as it is intimate to a world she knows by heart: that of smells, therefore, both good and bad. From the progress of History to the march of science, from industry taboos to the underside of the profession, without forgetting literature... Nothing concerning perfumes escapes these very personal short stories, by turns funny, tender or merciless, and which reveal to us what no one else would dare. Maïté Turonnet is the author of Parlons parfums in 1990 at Éditions Mondo and of L’Abécédaire du parfum at Flammarion in 1999. She is also, above all, a journalist and has collaborated on multiple publications, including Elle, Liberation, L’Express. She is currently the editor-in-chief at CitizenK International.
