The Perfume Companion
McCartney, Sarah / Scriven, Samantha
This is a beautifully illustrated compendium of almost 500 recommended scents from across the olfactory spectrum. It organizes and explores fragrances by their main notes to guide readers toward new favourites. It also clarifies the fragrance world's baffling technical terms, offers insight into how scent works and answers frequently asked questions - including where to wear scent, how to best keep your bottles and why they sometimes fade.
