Perfumes (eBook)

It's scents-sational!

I loved it and bought it for all my friends. I have to say that this is certainly my favourite non-fiction book ever and is very likely my favourite book of all time! If I had to take only one book with me onto a desert island for an indefinite time, it would be this one.

A wise investment and an addictive read.

From riotous one-liners to elaborate reviews, fragrance experts Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez have written an authoritative guide to the best and worst scents.

astonishingly brilliant and witty companion to all things fragrant.

a staggeringly complete compilation of perfume reviews...ridiculously entertaining.

It's an eau-de-must-have. If it came in a bottle we'd wear it.

Lyrical and acerbically witty compendium.

hugely engrossing...the writing is brilliant...gorgeous.

consistently entertaining...scathingly inventive bitchiness.

The authors' evocative and vivid writing style convinces us that perfume isn't a science but an art. Never again will you be able to walk past a perfume counter with quite the same nonchalance... if you have a nose for a good book, buy this one.

Highly entertaining critique which had me both fascinated and laughing out loud in equal measure... addictive and informative.

For any fragrance fanatic...an indispensable beauty bible.

If you are at all interested in perfume, one of life's greatest sensual pleasures, this is an essential possession

They're funny, bizarre, weird, hilarious writers.

As scintillating as it is comprehensive...this pungent, entrancing book is a wake up call for the nostrils.

This husband-and-wife team has produced a work of perfume criticism that is as gripping as any thriller.

The perfect gift for the scent addict in your life...witty and informative - and, occasionally, deliciously bitchy.

I was fascinated... a description of every perfume known to man, which sounds peculiar, but is mesmeric.

An unexpected classic of criticism

As riveting as a novel and as therapeutic as a recipe book.

genuinely wonderful...the authors's sense of smell is amazing.

Brilliant writing... I shall now spray on my favourite scents in quite a different frame of mind!
