'The intriguing relationship between scent, memory and place is the
underlying note in Lyttelton's journey through the history,
creation and business of perfume. We are whisked to traditional
perfumers' workshops, with their phial-filled antique cases, to the
spice souks of Marrakech, Ottoman houses in Turkey adorned with
necklaces of peppers and chillis, iris farms in Italy, and the
mossy-floored cedar forests of Azrou'
