Permission to Feel

Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez are experts on all that is scent. Luca is a renowned scientist, and Sanchez is a longtime perfume critic. For years, they have been writing about the orient’s most elegant and exquisite—as well as some truly horrendous—perfumes. They use their knowledge to review over twelve hundred fragrances, separating The Divine from the Good from The Monumentally Awful. Perfumes: The Guide both inform readers about shopping for fragrance and make for a unique reading experience with its witty, irreverent and illuminating prose. Perfume features introductions to women’s and men’s fragrances and an informative “frequently asked questions” section like: What is the difference between eau de toilette and perfume? How long can I keep perfume before it goes bad? What’s better: splash bottles or spray atomizers? What are perfumes made of?
