Like its contemporary Marie Armande Jeanne Gacon-Dufour (1753 - 1835), Celnart is a prolific author E and, like she, she also wrote many books concerning the rural Vie and the economy domesticates, the Protocole, etc

; An odor of plagiarism In 1834 appears its most famous work, the guide of perfumery , more known like the Manuel of the perfumer .
