We start out with stories about the great perfumers and the great perfumes. Robert also talks about what’s involved in becoming a perfumer, either today or in the past. I find this book a little light, but for someone interested in perfume history, there’s useful information here. In French. The upper right corner has been folded down. There’s a crease on the lower right corner as well, but deeper in. The cover page (paper) curls ever so slightly up on the left bottom corner.
