Making it to Episode 50 is a major achievement, and we could not have done it without the support of the station, our team, and of course, the food and wine creators we cover.

Book Release: The Fragrance Designer’s Primer

FrontCover-FragranceDesigners-smTasteTV and the Artisan Fragrance Salon are pleased to announce our newest book release is now available.

THE FRAGRANCE DESIGNERS PRIMER: A Roundtable of 14 Fragrance Makers answer 34 Creative, Brand and Business Defining Questions

Insights and tips from artisan and luxury fragrance makers from around the United States and Canada.

Description: Are you interested in perfumes and fragrance design as a small business? There are many how-to books on starting an enterprise, but often the best advice comes directly from those with actual experience. Thus came the idea for this book; this “primer.” Why not ask perfumers firsthand what they have experienced and what they recommend? With this concept in mind, we composed 34 key questions and asked them to 14 interesting artisans with experience in either perfume, skin care, or both. Their answers on creativity, branding and business are very frank and often personal, and written in a journal or diary style. The information in the resulting primer is worth its weight in gold.
