The first book of its kind.A definitive guide to the labyrinthe world of perfume.
In a witty,irreverant and innovative handbook two experts combine authority and experience to review almost 1,500 fragrances - separating the divine from the good from the monumentally awful; from a five-star 'towering masterpiece' to a one-star 'secret not worth keeping'.Their stylish book will do for scent what Robert Parker's books have done for wine.
'Perfumes: The Guide' also features introductions to women's and men's fragrances; essays on trends,history and chemistry; a glossary of materials and terms; a series of
'Top Ten' lists; and an informative section on frequently asked questions.Beautifully designed and produced,this is a truly unique and useful guide,written with a passion for its
subject,and makes a perfect gift.
