This work examines what each perfume is like, its character, its composition, its effect on the wearer and on those she may encounter. The book also introduces the categories of perfume: the single flower; the floral bouquet; the greens; the woods; the fruits; and the oriental. The key components that make up the classic perfumes from rose and patchouli to bergamont and musk are also featured. Over 150 perfumes are explained and an astrological guide to chosing a perfume is also included.
