Book excerpt: A story of alchemy in Bohemian Paris, where two scientific outcasts discovered a fundamental distinction between natural and synthetic chemicals that inaugurated an enduring scientific mystery. For centuries, scientists believed that living matter possessed a special quality—a spirit or essence—that differentiated it from nonliving matter. But by the nineteenth century, the scientific consensus was that the building blocks of one were identical to the building blocks of the other. Elixir tells the story of two young chemists who were not convinced, and how their work rewrote the boundary between life and nonlife. In the 1830s, Édouard Laugier and Auguste Laurent were working in Laugier Père et Fils, the oldest perfume house in Paris. By day they prepared the perfumery’s revitalizing elixirs and rejuvenating eaux, drawing on alchemical traditions that equated a plant’s vitality with its aroma. In their spare time they hunted the vital force that promised to reveal the secret to life itself. Their ideas, roundly condemned by established chemists, led to the discovery of structural differences between naturally occurring molecules and their synthetic counterparts, even when the molecules were chemically identical. Scientists still can’t explain this anomaly, but it may point to critical insights concerning the origins of life on Earth. Rich in sparks and smells, brimming with eccentric characters, experimental daring, and the romance of the Bohemian salon, Elixir is a fascinating cultural and scientific history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pénétrer les secrets des essences naturelles, c 'est comprendre le parfum. Dominique Silberstein, photographe reconnu dans l'univers du luxe et de la beauté, et Brigitte Bourny-Romagné, spécialiste du parfum, auteur d'un logiciel de découverte des plantes à parfum, ont parcouru la planète pour nous dévoiler un monde exceptionnel. Leur livre propose un regard inédit sur les essences naturelles qui entrent dans la composition des plus grands parfums, comme la tubéreuse des Indes, le jasmin d'Egypte, la rose de Turquie, l'iris de Toscane, le patchouli d'Indonésie, l'osmanthus de Chine, la vanille des Comores... Le style très pur de Dominique Silberstein offre un regard sensible et délicat sur un univers peu connu. Réalisées en lumière naturelle, ses photographies sont exceptionnellement belles. Documentés et vivants, les textes évoquent les origines de chaque plante, sa culture, sa récolte et sa transformation. Brigitte Bourny-Romagné en dresse ensuite un portrait à travers son intimité olfactive, son pays d'origine, son rôle et son comportement dans un parfum. Un exercice inédit, qui montre que les plantes ont un langage silencieux et présentent nombre de similitudes avec le monde humain... Un ouvrage qui permet de pénétrer dans les coulisses d'un métier resté secret. Rêve assuré, regard nouveau sur ces plantes, véritables magiciennes de nos désirs... et voyage au long cours sur les routes mystérieuses du parfum...

Constantly captivated by the pictures words alone have the power to paint, and the owner of a spirit that is always ready for the next travel adventure, she’s found her muse alive and well in the city of Paris, France. After several years spent studying and working in the City of Light and eventually returning home, she realized that no matter how far she went, Paris was always there in the back of her mind, demanding to be acknowledged, in the chicest way possible of course. So…she gave in to the call of the city once again and began writing about her own experiences in France. Through these recollections and personal points of insight, she hopes to reach those who feel Paris inspiring them from a distance and help them find the courage to set off on their own adventures in the City of Love and Light.
