A Pasion for Perfume celebrates the joys of perfume: its past and its present. And offers a little insight into how and why you choose to use the one you do.

Perfume is the ultimate gift to the senses. The lavishly exquisite packaging of its bottle will first tempt the eye and then beg to be picked up. But. More significantly. It is the scent of the perfume. That once experienced. Has power to become part of your very identity. And will capture a moment forever.

Jo Glanville-Blackburn guides you through the most recognizable fragrance families: Floral. Oriental, Fougere and Chypre. And explores their ingredients. Notes and the great classics that epitomize them. From the intense. Intense. Narcotic perfume of jasmine to the exotic. Musky oriental spices. You'll discover that is an individual scent for everyone.

Perfume offers the ultimate feel-good sensation. A single spritz of a much-loved scent will send spirits soaring. Indulge your senses with A Passion for Perfume.
