Product Description
From the Author
A comprehensive guide to fragrance for home and health
Have you ever wondered quite why you were attracted to that extremely unsuitable individual? Or why the smell of candlewax reminds you irresistibly of your grandfather? Why does your mother's perfume - or father's aftershave! - smell terrific on them, but dreadful on you? Exactly how and why does aromatherapy work?
Have you ever wondered quite why you were attracted to that extremely unsuitable individual? Or why the smell of candlewax reminds you irresistibly of your grandfather? Why does your mother's perfume - or father's aftershave! - smell terrific on them, but dreadful on you? Exactly how and why does aromatherapy work?
Scents - perfumes, aromas, odours, smells - influence every aspect of our lives, whether we realise it or not, and this book explains why, in an easily readable and very reader-friendly way. From a useful description of how the sense of smell - one of the least regarded yet most potent of our senses - actually works, through pheromones, fragrant foods, aromatherapy, and herb and mood gardens, to the art of the commercial perfumer, this book answers these questions and more.
Using ingredients easily available at your local wholefood, florists, 'new age' or craft shop, you'll be able to try recipes for your own aromatherapy mixes (for minor health problems or to stimulate your mind), flower wines such as honeysuckle, rose and clover, learn how to make your own perfumes, incense, pot pourri and scented candles, and discover ways to integrate feng shui influences into a fragrant garden. There's even a section on ghostly perfumes, and appropriate fragrances (both ancient and modern) for each Sign of the Zodiac!
Fun to read, fun - and practical - to experiment with, Perfume Power is a great introduction to a fascinating subject.
