Intriguing, thought-provoking, and universal!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book provides much intriguing and fascinating information on the role of scent and smell over history. It's captivating to find the emphasis past cultures and time periods had on scent and smells - and how much of that we have lost. Particularly interesting are the sections on scent as it relates to seduction and magic. A bit "scholarly" but understandable and educational!
