Format:Paperback
Nancy Booth has taken what can sometimes seem a confusing hobby, creating your own fragrances, and broken it down into easy to understand language. Her brief description of the history of fragrances was interesting and informative. I also appreciated the list she provides categorizing many popular scents on the market today. The quick and simple quiz included allows you to pinpoint what types of fragrances you or your friends are most drawn to. Her descriptions of the various scent profiles also helped me pinpoint which fragrances would appeal to friends and relatives. In addition to all of this she provides numerous, easy to follow recipes for perfumes and colognes that can be created quite easily at home. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in creating their own fragrances.

As a "home crafter" of my own cosmetic products, and a beginner at making perfumes, this book has provided me with just the right level of knowledge. The author, Nancy M. Booth, is clearly very enthusiastic about her subject - which comes across along with all of the practical information. The book includes recipes to make at home. I've tried a few of them and was thrilled to find that the very first one, which I made up in a base of jojoba oil, actually lasted all day!

This basic overview of the history and crafting of scents is a must for the small soaper or toiletries-maker's library. It has some good basic recipes to start with, and would be of interest to those involved in medieval studies.
