Overview

A trail of vanished art, forbidden fragrance, and love that lingers like smoke. When art restorer Isabella Ward accepts a commission to restore a mysterious portrait in Florence, she doesn't expect the painting to change the course of her life. Hidden beneath its layers lies a scent unlike any other - a fragrance so powerful it awakens memories that are not her own. Soon she discovers the truth: the portrait once belonged to the secretive Société des Collectionneurs, a group that believes emotion can be preserved through scent. The deeper Isabella goes, the more she realizes that beauty and danger breathe the same air. A lost lover, Leonardo Moretti, reappears from her past; a shadowy perfumer, Adrien Valmont, promises redemption but hides his own motives; and in the heart of Venice, a city built on water and reflection, the line between memory and possession begins to dissolve. From the candlelit crypts of Florence to the fog-drenched bridges of Venice, The Scent of Crimson is a haunting story of art, desire, and the price of remembering too much. Richly atmospheric and emotionally charged, Jasmine Taylor's prose captures the fragile beauty of love that refuses to fade - and the danger of trying to make it last forever. A love story written in light, shadow, and perfume.

Author Information

Jasmine Taylor is a British author whose work moves between tender contemporary romance, tangled historical mysteries, and character-driven suspense. Born in Bath, England, she studied English Literature at the University of Edinburgh and completed a Master's in Public History at King's College London. Her stories explore memory, second chances, and the small objects that carry our lives forward-letters, keys, benches in the rain.Jasmine has worked with libraries, museums, and schools, and she believes books are made by communities as much as by writers. She now lives in Brighton, a short walk from the sea, where she splits her days between drafting new novels and getting lost in archives. When she isn't writing, she's baking imperfect cakes, rescuing houseplants, and plotting journeys to places with interesting light.
