'This is a fascinating book for anyone with even a passing interest in perfume. Charting all the great scents since the launch of Guerlain's Jicky in 1889 to Mugler's Angel in 1992, this tells the story of some of the world's most famous fragrances. Edwards's passion for the subject makes this more a great read than just a reference book. Information value: Outstanding. Everyone will find the story of the creation, name and design of one of their favourite scents, including Chanel No 5, Tabu, Joy, Nuit de Nol and Opium.' Newby Hands, Harpers & Queen
