"...Chapters trace the traditions of scent, from the attars of Cleopatra to the heady violet of the Empress Josephine to Marilyn Monroe's Chanel No. 5. The authors reveal the painstaking art of distillation--in which gatherers in Grasse remain as crucial as the most up-to-date equipment. They open the doors of the noble perfume houses and explain how a great "nose" composes a fragrance. They examine they craftsmanship behind the flacon, and demonstrate how the names adn images of perfumes reflect their times. Finally, they divulge how to choose a signature fragrance and build a perfume wardrobe. A practical connoisseur's guide lists salons, museums, and schools, a glossary, and a chart of scent families."--Book jacket
