With out a doubt this is one of the most useful guides for the average crafts person, while not in the league of Perfumery and Milady, its uncomplicated and fun.

Nancy has included a ' quick and simple quiz' allowing you to pinpoint what types of fragrances you or your friends are most drawn to. Her descriptions of the various scent profiles also helped me pinpoint which fragrances would appeal to friends and relatives.

Perfumes, Splashes & Colognes is an education in fragrance taking you through many aspects of fragrances, their classifications (quite a bit of the book), the crafting of fine perfume, and the history behind fragrances.
