「他是冒險家,全世界的香氣精華都盡收筆尖。
「茉莉花、佛手柑……多明尼克透過本書,告訴我們香水在裝瓶前,
▼尋香之路上,我們看見那些香氣最原始的樣貌,
也從世界各地的香氣採集者身上,收集到許多酷知識──
孟加拉的農民會在樹上釘釘子,以加快沉香木內部結香的速度;
秘魯的香脂採集者,必須在高處手握火炬,才能刺激樹脂流出;
破解香草授粉原理並使其開花結果的人,竟是一位十一歲男孩。
▼每一種香氣,都代表著一個地方或一個人的故事,
你能在這趟旅途中見證:
印尼投機份子運送廣藿香的秘密路線;
二十世紀初英國人對亞馬遜橡樹的綁架;
在印度,竟有人為獲取檀香,而不惜犯下謀殺案;
澳洲西北部一個種植檀香的田地,過去曾是開採粉紅鑽石的區域⋯
本書不僅蘊含採集者的祖傳技藝,
也為讀者揭露明星調香師的秘密生活,
讓你一睹專業人士視察植物園與提取香氣的風景。
