The protective calm of lavender and beeswax, the serenity of coconut and bergamot, the anxiety of galbanum and cloves, the overwhelming euphoria of black pepper and orange blossom. It's happened to everyone: you smell a scent, and that particular scent triggers a precise and unique memory. Simone Tempia (Emotional Catalogue of Perfumes, Utet) delves into an almost unknown world, revealing an undeniable truth: we almost never choose a perfume for its aesthetic function, but for its powerful evocative nature. With his ironic and moving voice, and accompanied by Raffaele Riba, he guides us through an emotional boutique to unhinge our memories through snapshots of life and simple olfactory accords.
