Amazing angle for history,
This review is from: Galaxy of Scents: Ancient Art of Perfume Making (Paperback)
I was amazed reading the book - so interesting angle for history! I have never liked history at school or I never read historical articles in magazines... But this one is just amazing - so interesting and diverse. You can read it as story book. Each story is quite short but so nicely wraped around perfume or vice versa :).
If you hope to find details how to make perfume - then you have to look somewhere else. But if you like perfumery or like blending - it inspired me for sure!

Psychic Hotline Perfume,
By Wayne Folta - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Galaxy of Scents: Ancient Art of Perfume Making (Paperback)
Totally disappointing! The history parts are hard to believe, and the perfume-making parts are, ummmm, weird.To give you a feel, she believes God (which one is unclear) gave her perfume making techniques that involve numerology, homeopathy, astrology, talking and transferring happy thoughts to her perfume brews, and probably other New Age techniques that I missed. If you want to learn more about scents, their history and making them, get both _An Album of Fragrance_ and the top-notch _Perfumes, Splashes & Colognes_ for less than the cost of this book. 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful:

Great history of perfume,
By Floyd Lenhart "BP" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Galaxy of Scents: Ancient Art of Perfume Making (Paperback)
This is a very enjoyable history of perfume. The author inserts her own discoveries of the power of perfume that are interesting. And finally she explains her exclusive process for extracting essential oils.
The book is good reading and I would recommend it for anyone who is interested in a knowledge of perfume or contemplating producing their own. 4 of 12 people found the following review helpful:

Unique,
By Anonymous - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Galaxy of Scents: Ancient Art of Perfume Making (Paperback)
I found this to be a fascinating account of the art of perfume making. The author seemed intent on sharing her years of work, knowledge and experience with others.
