This is a kind of perfume dictionary, listing those perfumes that have been the most catalytic or representative of change in our society. Some perfumes are discussed more than others, some with a paragraph, others with over a page. Inherent in this study is a lot of information and history of perfume in our culture. It’s a fun book to have around for looking up interesting facts about specific perfumes. The book is barely used. The pages haven’t turned brown.
