Den parfymerade trädgården by Elin Unnes

Book cover and interior for Den parfymerade trädgården (“The perfumed garden”) by Elin Unnes, published by Natur & Kultur:

The fragrant garden is filled with beautiful, hardy plants that spread their perfume in winter and summer, day and night. In the perfume’s cultivations, ingredients grow for soap and beauty care, for food and drink, incense and detergents. And – for the skilled alchemist – essential oils.

Respira Black was used for the headlines, and Maison Neue for the rest of the book. The title is gold foil debossed on cloth with an inset cover photo. Caput mortuum end papers. Photography and illustrations by Maja Forsslund.
