Smells like a winner!,

This review is from: The Scents of Time: Perfume from Ancient Egypt to the 21st Century (Hardcover)
After reading Perfume : The Art and Science of Scent by Cathy Newman, Robb Kendrick, I was hooked on wanting to know more about the fragrance industry. I purchased this book because it's about fragrance itself rather than bottles, etc. This is a lovely book, although it does not go into great depth about the subject. But I don't think it was meant to. It's a coffee table book. However, the nicest surprise about the book are the 8 fragrances that come with it. I must say, I purchased the book because of the fragrances but I never thought they would be as nice as they are. I am very particular about fragrance and I find these to be absolutely splendid - and very French. They remind me of the little mini fragrance sets I've purchased from time to time of French lines such as Gerlain, Givenchy and Gres. The whole package is well worth it if you, like me, love fragrance.

This review is from: Scents of Time Hb (Hardcover)
I bought the original book from the Metropolitan Museum and thoroughly enjoyed it. The oils are of excellent quality. I had been working with aromatherapy and this book certainly broadened my knowledge. Then a friend gave me another copy for a birthday gift. As much as I like it, two was more than I needed (my duplicate is for sale).

I purchased Maya (headnotes of chocolate and vanilla) and since I bought this product, I use only this one and have used none of my other perfumes. This scent is entrancing and gives you a great feeling. I notice that others comment on this scent a lot. This is aromatherapy at its best. Mara
