Навіть у часи економічних труднощів парфуми залишаються доступною розкішшю, відомою своєю здатністю не лише приємно пахнути, а й чудово почуватися. Жоден жіночий туалетний столик чи шафка у ванній кімнаті не обходяться без хоча б одного флакона.

Cult Perfumes – це перша книга, яка досліджує найексклюзивніші парфумерні бутики, що виробляють одні з найчарівніших ароматів світу. Тесса Вільямс документує понад 25 парфумерій та брендів, починаючи від аптеки Санта-Марія-Новелла у Флоренції, заснованої домініканськими ченцями у 1221 році, та класичної англійської компанії Floris, заснованої у 1730 році, до нової однойменної лінійки, створеної відомим експертом з парфумів Роєю Давом. Вільямс зазирає за лаштунки кожної парфумерії, щоб взяти інтерв'ю у парфумерів та дослідити еволюцію компанії, дух бренду та його фірмові аромати. Завдяки лаконічному ілюстрованому вступу до історії парфумерії та розповідям про культові парфуми, майбутні культові класики та так званих «носи», які стежать за популярністю сучасних ароматів брендів, видання Cult Perfumes буде таким же привабливим для любителів та колекціонерів парфумів, як і представлені в ньому аромати.

From Glam through Punk to New Wave, this collection of over 200 rare rock posters from the 1970s celebrates a decade's music and design. David Bowie's mask and lipstick were the essence of glam, the spirit of punk was embodied by the rips in the Sex Pistols Union Jack, while the Clash posing in front of Camden Lock shouted urbanism and decay. The posters speak directly to the viewer, communicating the style and content of the music. Many are now iconic images: the haunted, sunken-eyed Lou Reed on the front of Transformer, the lightning-struck face of David Bowie on Aladdin Sane, the power and anger in London Calling's smashed guitar, Adam Ant's white stripe and piercing eyes in King of the Wild Frontiers, and John Lydon's psychotic stare for Pretty Vacant.

These dazzling artworks are presented here together for the first time, accompanied by an entertaining and insightful commentary by pop-culture aficionados Alwyn Turner and Roger Crimlis. With the aid of personal interviews with stars, artists, photographers and fly-posting Mafiosi, they reveal the unknown story behind the posters featured and cart the music and times that inspired a generation.

This book is for anyone who has ever blue tacked a poster to their bedroom wall.

Bands featured include: Marc Bolan, Iggy Pop, Ian Dury, David Bowie, Sex Pistols, The Clash, Blondie, Adam Ant, Lou Reed, Malcolm McLaren, Brian Ferry, Alice Cooper, X-ray Spex, Bow Wow Wow, The Only Ones
