So it was no surprise when his debut book, Perfume: In Search Of Your Signature Scent, was published in early 2019. Based in Kamakura, Japan, the self-proclaimed “perfumista” and teacher has created a dedicated following with his highly expressive and often personal writing. ![]() ![]() Anyone who follows The Black Narcissus will attest to the knowledge and passion of Neil Chapman for all things perfume. ![]()
