I most sincerely recommend this work to anyone interested in learning more about the magic of Aromas! Not only do the co-athors Peter and Kate Damian discuss the various attributes of many scents, they also tread deep into the inner workings of the human olfactory system. The research they have gathered is worthy of any major medical journal in both content and depth. I personally am involved in various research in the field of the effects of aromas on the human condition and found their book insightful and quite original.

The writting style is simple to follow and filled with those wonderful little phrases that we can carry with us to any social function. I myself have been quoting my favorites parts on quite a regular basis!

Sincerely, if you are interested in Aromatherapy, Incense, Perfume, or even just curious as to how scents have such a powerful response in us as human beings, then I whole heartedly suggest you read this text!

Keep well and remember to stop and SMELL the roses!

One of my biggest pet peaves is when I start reading a book and find out that the book has more of an agenda than it is informative. This book should be called "Aromatherapy vs. Perfumery" or "How industries are using and testing synthetic fragrances with the intent of behavioral control." I already know about all that. I was more interested "using [true] essential oils for physical and emotional well-being," as the cover of the book states.

The book was recommended by a friend, sought out on Amazon.com, purchased at a fair price and was delivered promptly and as promoted. I find the thinking behind the book helpful and useful. . .
