DISCOVER OLFACTORY BOTANY,
A NEW WAY TO DESIGN YOUR GARDEN
Signed copy! Smell is a fascinating sense that colors our lives in a unique way. Crumpling a fresh green mint between your fingers or brushing the delicate petals of a tender lilac can bring back precious memories. In this superb book, the artist Alexandra Bachand opens the portal to her garden for you to explore the poetry of smells. She presents her favorite flowers and fragrant plants, those that she grows near her workshop in the Eastern Townships. Their facets and their intensity will in turn guide you in creating fragrant ambiances full of charm, whether on your balcony in the city or in your courtyard in the countryside. In addition to growing tips and unique arrangements, there are manual and aromatic projects to extend the pleasure beyond the summer season.
Because “He who plants a fragrant garden sows sweet sparks of happiness.”

“Your book has been with me everywhere since yesterday. It does me great good, both through its poetry and its beauty, in addition to being a source of valuable information. It comes at a good time in my life and your creativity resonates with me in every way. Thank you Alexandra for this magnificent treasure.”
“Yesterday, I obtained this magnificent publication directly from the author Alexandra Bachand, Perfumer creator of a beautiful range of perfumes, then of her Jardin des senteurs and Perfumed Festival of La Grange du Parfumeur. A careful work that ties in with my interests in perfumes, plants and gardening. The originality of the work lies in a beautiful introduction to the world of perfumery, a selection of fragrant plants, as well as suggestions for olfactory arrangements. The chapters are also peppered with a few recipes or creative projects. Then Alexandra's pen is full of finesse and imbued with romanticism. We would like to be able to feel everything as we go through the pages. I recommend it to anyone who loves fragrant plants, beautiful gardens and perfumes.”
