For most women, perfume is a mystery - which one to wear? When to wear it? ...and with what? It all comes down to the question: who am I? What is my mood? Am I a cool unreachable goddess, today? Or am I a passionate lover? To help make an informed choice here is an in-depth analysis of the natures of each of 150 perfumes, its effect on the wearer and those she encounters. John Oakes seeks to demystify the "parfumier's" art, introducing the reader to all the major perfume categories: the single flower, the floral bouquet, the greens, the woods, the fruits...He describes the main components such as patchouli and bergemot, rose and musk.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Banal and Incomplete,
By Aromatics Seeker (Mattapoisette MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: New Book of Perfumes (Paperback)
This book reads like an advertisement for the perfumes rather than realexpert critical analysis. He also completely omits men's fragrances for some reason. Also men and women can share fragrances and he doesn't even allude to that. All this added up to a very incomplete and disapointing read. I'm glad I didn't spend too much money on it. Luca Turin's guide is greatly superior- Buy that.
