Humans have long wondered how to capture and recreate some of nature's most beautiful scents. What goes into a bottle of fragrance can be surprising.

His new book In Search of Perfumes chronicles his travels over the last 30 years, seeking out diverse resins, seeds, and flowers, and demystifying the secrets of the fragrance industry.Unlike the farmers and workers on the ground, Roques doesn't collect perfume ingredients in their raw state.

Once he has sourced these natural ingredients, the perfumer — also known as the 'nose' — steps in to create their olfactory masterpieces. "Gradually we've invented processes [such as] waters, perfume fats, and then finally, essential oils, and extracts. So, it's been a long journey."Sourcing natural ingredients has led Roques to the most picturesque of landscapes.

"It's one of the most ancient ingredients," Roques says, adding that labdanum was mentioned in the Bible. They are said to have used it to communicate with the gods, which is why the intoxicating scents of myrrh, frankincense, and sandalwood have wafted through the temples of different religions through the ages.

"The Persians then were very smart because they quickly found the way to perfume water, and to do what we call rose water. Their caravans conveyed and sold rosewater throughout the world," he says.
