Books with Bases, Accords and Perfume Formulas?

[greeneaj87]

Hello Basenoters!

What are your favorite books that are filled with some (or many) high quality, useful bases, accords, and perfume formulas?

I know the answer lies somewhere in this forum, scattered in many different threads and posts, but I'd like to reconcile it a bit.

My interest in perfumery was reignited when I actually sat down and started making some of Louis Appell's formulas from his book "The Formulation and Preparation of Cosmetics, Fragrances and Flavors", and I'd like to collect a few more books.

I know I've seen names like Poucher, Arctander, etc thrown around a bit....

Thank you!

One moment, please...

Other than Appell & Curtis/Williams, the most useful formulas for me to study & experiment with have been the numbered Firmenich formulas on Good Scents & in their marketing PDFs.

There are a lot of formulations for sale but little in books other than classics like Poucher. I recently bought a book from Amazon.com by a University of Wisconsin professor that is called "Perfumes and Perfumery a review". It is a paperback 190 pages and not expensive. Not a formulary book but helped a lot for beginners like me. Hope it helped you.

Here is a link:

There you will find a list of books and where to get them. On the list, look especially at books by Poucher and Appell, which contain copious amounts of formulas.
