V roce 2012 se součástí Nakladatelství Slovart stalo nakladatelství Brio. Nakladatelství Brio vydávalo ve spolupráci s předními spisovateli a výtvarníky nádherně ilustrované originální příběhy a sbírky pohádek pro děti od šesti do dvanácti let. Pro starší děti, mládež a dospělé Brio nabízelo sebrané spisy pohádek a bajek od renomovaných spisovatelů, doplněné o to nejlepší z klasické literatury celého světa. V této tradici pokračujeme také my v rámci stejnojmenné edice.

From leading expert, Élisabeth de Feydeau, comes a luxurious and lavishly illustrated volume on the history of perfume, from the scented oils of ancient times up to the present day.
Light, floral, exotic or heady, perfume can be both a precious ally for self-care or the ultimate weapon of seduction. From its origins in ancient times to today's colossal cosmetic industry, the story of perfume is rich and enticing.
What parts of the world do fragrances come from? Who invented them and what are their main ingredients? How did perfume cross from the sacred to the profane? Who were the first great perfumers? What role has the fashion industry played in the history of perfume? How do you become a successful 'nose'? What stories lie behind iconic perfumes such as Chanel's N°5, CK One, or Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Mâle?
Lavishly illustrated with archival documents from the most beautiful fragrance brands, The Story of Perfume transports its readers into a precious and mesmerizing world. It is the perfect gift for special occasions and a must-have for all perfume lovers.
Review
Lavishly illustrated, de Feydeau's book is a fascinating history of what we take for granted as we go about our own rituals, spraying wisps of aroma as we start our day, lighting scented candles or dipping diffuser sticks in oil to aromatize our homes. She deftly ties this enjoyable if mundane act back to ancient times, interwoven with culture, tradition and science, taking the story to the famed perfumes of our day, such as Shalimar and Samara by Guerlain, Opium by Yves Saint Laurent and Ambre Sultan by Serge Lutens. -- Jane Ammeson ― Feature Published On: 2025-04-20About the AuthorÉlisabeth de Feydeau has a PhD in the history of perfume from the University of Paris-Sorbonne, teaches at the Versailles School of Perfumers and is a cultural adviser to leading luxury brands, including Christian Dior, Thierry Mugler, Chanel, Guerlain and Lancaster.
