Fragrant: The Secret Life of Scent

The edge cutting is coarse and not smoothly done
Thank you for the book but please try to do the cutting of the pages smoothly and not coarsely and it's rough bad uneven at the edge as shown in video.

Wonderful, transporting!
A beautifully written book! A poetic integration of sensuality, philosophy, and history. Fascinatingly describes the origins and technicalities behind the production of perfumes, essential oils and other fragrant essences. I inhaled this book (heheheh).You'll learn a lot about the five essences she discusses, and come to more deeply appreciate the sense of smell and all of the feelings and experiences it can elicit within us. I find myself now slowing down and truly relishing scents and exploring them more deeply.On a lighter note, I have a kindle, but I chose to buy the hardcover after seeing at a bookstore because it is simply gorgeous. A pleasure to hold and look at. With metallic detailing on the cover, it's very eye catching. The photo on Amazon doesn't do it justice. A hardcover copy enhanced the reading experience for me.The one star review listed is hogwash, I doubt the reviewer even read the book. Mandy is actually biased against synthetic fragrances.You don't have to be a fragrance hobbyist or connoisseur to enjoy this book and really benefit from it. Treat yourself or a loved one to this jewel!
