"L'Ame des Parfums Essai de Psychologie Olfactive”

By Andre Monery.
Published in Paris by Librairie Aristide Quillet in 1924.

An elegantly printed exploration of the "spirit" and psychology of 
perfumes, from the Renaissance to the 20th century, filled with quotes 
from past authors.

Illustrated with delightful woodcut vignettes, decorated initial 
letters, and tailpieces, by Ferdinand Fargeot [1880-1957].  Fargeot was 
an illustrator, and landscape and genre painter who exhibited at the 
International Exposition at Brussels in 1922 and Copenhagen in 1924, and 
the Colonial Exposition at Strasbourg in 1928. he was the founder and 
President of l'Art Decoratif Moderne at Lyon, and was involved in the 
interior decoration of the Atlantic liner S.S. Ile de France, the first 
liner to be completely decorated in the new Art Deco style. "Never 
before had a ship had its own style of interior design like the Ile de 
France. For the first time, a ship's passenger spaces had been designed 
not to reproduce decorative styles of the past but to celebrate the 
style of the present."

Original softcovers, covered with period glassine. The covers have some 
light wear and soil (please see the photos, above and below). The book
