Product Information
In a witty, irreverent and innovative handbook two experts combine authority and experience to review more than 1200 fragrances - separating the divine from the good from the monumentally awful; from ***** 'a towering masterpiece' to * 'a secret not worth keeping'. Their stylish book will do for scent what Robert Parker's books have done for wine. It also features introductions to women's and men's fragrances, to trends, and to history and chemistry; a glossary and many 'Top Ten' Lists; and an informative section on frequently asked questions. A truly unique and useful guide, one written with a passion for its subject, and a perfect gift. Sample Extracts Chinatown (Bond. No. 9) ***** gourmand chypre The endearingly plucky f irm of Bond No. 9 has produced its first masterpiece like a corner of a small French grocery in summer. A treasure in a beautiful bottle. Hugo (Hugo Boss) ** unexciting lavender Dull but competent suggestive of a day filled with strategy meetings. Gardenia (Chanel) * not gardenia a thoroughly unpleasant, loud airport-toilet floral.Product Identifiers
