I love these books! It not only walks you through the production of the natural material, but is also full of little gems of information. Like in Patchouli, I loved reading about Malle's Monsieur. and learning that it contains over 50% patchouli, or learning about LMR's product called Patchouli Heart. The fragrance recommendations are great as well -- the flow chart is super helpful. I highly recommend all of these books.
