About the Book

Una gran novela sobre el fascinante y glamuroso mundo del perfume.

A los once años Pablo Soto se queda huérfano y tiene que viajar, en tiempos de la Gran Guerra, hasta la ciudad francesa de Grasse, capital del perfume, donde vivirá con sus tíos y su primo. En Francia no solo encuentra el cariño y el calor de una familia, sino que disfruta de la oportunidad única de adentrarse en el mundo de la perfumería bajo la maestría del gran perfumista franco-ruso Ernest Beaux, de la mano del cual llegará a conocer a Coco Chanel.

Es el momento de la creación de un perfume que hará historia: Chanel N° 5. Ni un amor imposible ni la nueva guerra que arrasa Europa impedirán que Pablo se convierta en un gran perfumista. Pero tampoco que sea un hombre que huye del pasado. Una fuga imposible, porque, a menudo, la vida es un perfume cuyo aroma se pierde en el tiempo.

El aroma del tiempo nos adentra en uno de los momentos más glamurosos del siglo XX. Desde Grasse, cuna de la alta perfumería, a la Barcelona de posguerra, y pasando por el París de Coco Chanel, esta novela nos cuenta quién y cómo se hacen los perfumes, y nos relata la vida de un hombre que se hace a sí mismo y consigue el éxito tras superar los muchos golpes de la vida.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A great novel about the fascinating and glamorous world of perfume.

At age eleven, Pablo Soto became an orphan and during the time of the Great War, had to travel to the French city of Grasse, the capital of perfumes, where he would live with his aunt, uncle and cousin. While in France, he not only found the loving care of a family, but also had the unique opportunity to enter the world of perfumery under the mastery of the great Franco-Russian perfumer Ernest Beaux, from whom we would get to know Coco Chanel. It was time to create a perfume that would make history: Chanel No. 5. Neither an impossible love nor the new war that was devastating Europe would prevent Pablo from becoming a great perfumer.

The scent of time takes us into one of the most glamorous times of the 20th century. From Grasse to post-war Barcelona, and through Coco Chanel's Paris, this novel tells us about who makes them and how perfumes are made; and narrates the life of a self-made man who achieves great success after overcoming life's many blows.
About the Author: Núria Pradas Andreu nació en el barcelonés barrio del Poble Nou. Estudió Filología Catalana en la Universitat de Barcelona y, desde muy joven, enseña Lengua y Literatura catalana.

En el ámbito escolar ha dirigido grupos de teatro juvenil, una de sus grandes pasiones y donde dio sus primeros pasos en el mundo de la escritura. Del teatro pasó a la novela para niños y jóvenes. Se sentía cada vez más atraída por el mundo de la literatura y se comprometió de tal manera que terminó dejando las aulas para dedicarse de lleno a él. En el 2012 ganó el Premi Carlemany con la novela Sota el mateix cel y a partir de entonces se decidió a escribir novelas para adultos. En el año 2014 publicó La noia de la Biblioteca, y en 2016, Sueños a medida, que ha sido traducida a catorce idiomas. Esta entrada en la literatura para adultos no ha significado, ni mucho menos, el abandono de la narrativa infantil y juvenil, en el que siempre se ha encontrado muy cómoda y donde ha publicado más de una cincuentena de títulos, entre los que destacan Lior, Un verano con Anna, La filla de l'Argenter y la serie de la tía Adela, por poner algunos ejemplos. Actualmente, Núria Pradas vive en Sant Esteve Sesrovires con su familia.
