5.0 out of 5 stars Exquisite images, well written, insightful, & provocative., November 20, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Art of Sensual Aromatherapy: A Lover's Guide to Using Aromatic Oils and Essences (Paperback)

This is a beautiful book to look through. It's also a wonderful book to read. The images are gorgeous. It is also an excellent resource for anyone wishing to begin, or add to, a collection of essential oils. It contains step-by-step instructions, as well as recommendations for the use of essential oils, and which oils to use to enhance what traits. I highly commend the authors, and offer my highest praise for their efforts. Get this one, you won't be sorry!

5.0 out of 5 stars Beguiling and sensuous, with gorgeous pictures!!!, September 19, 2001

This review is from: Sensual Aromatherapy (Paperback)

This is one of my all-time favorite books in which to browse. For anyone with an interest in fragrance, it's a delight to explore. It has the most exquisite photography, with beautiful shots of both flora and some very lovingly sensual shots of people who are enjoying the wonderful experience of aromatherapy.

There is lots of information in this book, and it's included to a depth that is just perfect -- not so much that it drones on and on, and not so shallow that it imparts no knowledge. The text is enticing, the subject is horizon-expanding, and the photos are mind-blowing.

Looking for something to keep, which imparts wisdom, makes the life's dreary days much brighter, and in the process of discovery expands one consciousness and one's sensuality? Look inside. Highly, Highly Recommended!!!

This review is from: The Art of Sensual Aromatherapy: A Lover's Guide to Using Aromatic Oils and Essences (Paperback)

it's pretty, but useless if you already own a more comprehensive guide to aromatherapy like The Complete Book of Essential Oils and Aromatherapy, which will provide you with all the same information and then some.

Still, if you're going to buy a gift for someone with this topic, this is a nice one to give. It's definitely prettier than the Complete Book...
