5.0 out of 5 stars
Pearls of historical insights,
This review is from: The Art of Perfumery and Methods of Obtaining the Aromas of Plants: How to make perfumes, scented powders, aromatic vinegars, dentifrices, pomatums, cosmetics, perfumed soap and more! (Paperback)
This book has a great deal of information regarding products that are generally not relative to modern lifestyles, however the combinations of aromatic ingredients in these products (and the methods employed) are quite inspiring. One section in particular provides the formulas for creating specific floral notes (e.g., Lilac, Violet Flower, Honeysuckle) that are impossible to find (or are rare and prohibitively expensive) using a blend of other essential oils, absolutes, etc. Worth the price of the book for me!

This review is from: The Art of Perfumery and Methods of Obtaining the Aromas of Plants: How to make perfumes, scented powders, aromatic vinegars, dentifrices, pomatums, cosmetics, perfumed soap and more! (Paperback)
Unless you have a historian's interest in how perfumes were formulated a century and a half ago or want to learn to make a tooth cleaner using chalk and syrup, don't waste your money. The description fails to mention that the book was originally published in 1857. The only thing I found appealing about it was the cover.
