Authors Josephine Fairley and Lorna McKay
If you want just one good all round perfume reference book then this is the one.
Like Jo Fairley’s other book “The Beauty Bible” this is aimed at educating the fragrance buyer.
There are chapters on fragrance families, terminology and interviews with perfumers as well as a guide to the best blogs and fragrance shops.
The section “top 100 perfumes to try before you die” is a great compendium of iconic fragrances both old and new that any perfume lover should smell.
