I love this book. It has a wonderfully sensuous feel about it. The book size is perfect for slipping in your pocket or handbag and the fonts used make it very easy to read. The descriptions of the essential oils are very informative and flow like liquid poetry. It is packed with so many wonderful recipes like the sumptuously named 'Celebration of Desire' and the evocative 'Still Waters of Tranquility'. If you are at all interested in pleasuring your senses and would like to try using essentials oils, this book is ideal. It is beautifully written and instills a feeling of opulence and inspiration. I highly recommend it. So often in these stressful times, women don't take the time to relax, to pamper themselves and to tap into their own sensuality. I was given this book by a wonderful friend and I can't put it down.

So come on girls, give your senses a boost. You won't regret it.

The Fragrant Veil is prose, but it reads like poetry and pulls you into its very sensual stories about the history, properties, and suggested beauty uses of essential oils. Amazing that such useful information is such a pleasure to read. I felt beautiful just reading the book, and it inspired me to purchase and use many of the oils described.

The phenomenon of fragrance is beautifully expressed in this book. Just as important, it is a wealth of information, easy to understand and use.

Make evocative recipes to scent your body, bath, and home. Bring out your hidden sensuality, relieve stress, enliven and beautify your senses and your spirit.

I love this book! I think every woman will! It is beautifully written and inspiring.

When I found this book I knew I had to have it. Lots of really great simple recipes for instance hair rinses, aromatic baths, lotions, vaporisation blends and perfumes. The writing is clear and interesting to read, worded very new agey with exotic names for the recipes like Return To the Source Bath, and A Sprinkling of Fantasy hair rinse. Highly recommended aromatherapy book and those interested in perfume and sensuality.

Beautifully written and with an obvious passion for aromatherapy, Elisabeth Millar's book entices you into the sensuous, magical world of fragrance. The book suggests many ideas to create your own body lotions, bath oils and perfumes with the aim of pure unadulterated pleasure and indulgence!! A great gift for any woman!!

This is such a delightful book to read and to use. The author manages to combine clear, simple instructions while still managing to capture the reader's interest and imagination with her narrative on the history, effects and uses of the oils. And the blends do work!
