DESCRIPTION:
FragranceWindow said The Hundred Classics. How LT could narrow down the huge availability of classic frags is beyond me. The ones he chose were good selections, but the book was just not comprehensive enough. Still a good read.. Worth buying -- but a little confusing! Let me start off by saying that I am a HUGE fan of the Perfumes: A-Z guide by the same authors. I own both of these, and I'm glad I do. This is the portable, can't miss version of the big guy. It's going to come with me to every perfume counter I visit until I've smelled all 96 of these that are still in production.If you know someone who's interested in perfume, but not totally sure about it, this would be a great starter book. It p. Annina said Copy of The Guide: A-Z. This book was very disappointing. It just contains the 5 star perfumes from Turin and Sanchez's Perfumes: The Guide A-Z. Same reviews, same text. About "Copy of The Guide: A-Z" according to Annina. This book was very disappointing. It just contains the 5 star perfumes from Turin and Sanchez's Perfumes: The Guide A-Z. Same reviews, same text. About 20% is added text and updates. BIG waste of money. Just get The Guide, it's more entertaining!. 0% is added text and updates. BIG waste of money. Just get The Guide, it's more entertaining!
The Little Book of Perfumes focuses on just one hundred masterpieces of perfume: ninety-six five-star perfumes from the original book, as well as four "museum" perfumes-legendary scents that are preserved in the Versailles Osmothèque.This stunningly produced petite volume offers lovers of perfume the best of the best-a perfect gift book for anyone looking either for a brilliant fragrance or an intelligent, witty read.. When Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez published Perfumes: The Guide in 2008, it was hailed as "ravishingly entertaining" by John Lanchester in The New Yorker, "witty and knowledgeable" on Style, and "provocative and hugely entertaining" by the Times Literary Supplement. The quintessential guide to the one hundred most glorious perfumes in the world
