4.0 out of 5 stars Perfumes are a matter of chemistry and image, November 23, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Perfumery: Practice and Principles (Hardcover)
For the lay person that is not involved in the fragranceindustry thisbook sheds an entirely different light on perfumery. Perfumes are not a matter of attractiveness, they are a matter of chemistry, image, and clever marketing.
