5.0 out of 5 stars If you wish to learn about the perfume industry read this book !, 4 Aug 2008

By	P. Sellers (Ireland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

A great insight into what the perfume industry is about; in particular how they go about creating a scent (the best bit) and the myriad of marketing and other people who shape what they think we would like to buy. And the fact that a really good perfume is really about happiness and love!
