Arguably the seminal book on perfume, written in the 19th century the book resonates through the ages. Written in elegant Victorian prose the book combines considerable scientific and practical knowledge with considerable applied anthropology. Some references and the writing might seem somewhat antiquated but this only adds to the depth and veracity of the work.

Style and Structure This book is written in a very specific and distinctive style. The author pays a lot of attention to details and descriptions of the environment. It takes some time to get used to the pace of the narrative. Overall, it is a solid example of its genre.
