Product Description
Make your own mystical perfumes! The author, a cosmically illumined physician, made perfumes based upon the biblical formula mentioned in Exodus 30:34. There it tells exactly what plants to use and how much to use from each plant. This manuscript, originally published in the late 1960's, has been eagerly sought after in vain by alchemical students because it has never been published until now. The many perfumes this book describes, can be used for all kinds of medicinal, psychic, and every-day uses. The story of the author and her successes in bringing these ancient formulas to light is as fascinating as the ingredients to her perfumes. The author sold her perfumes only at cost even though she refused a substantial fortune to commercialize them through a prominent company. She was interviewed in magazines, on television, radio, and gave lectures. In 1969 she was selected as one of the "Two Thousand Women of Achievement." Also included in the book is the name and address of where you can purchase Dr. Lynne's perfumes! These perfumes work! Be one of the first to make your own perfumes and see what they can do for you!

 Great history of perfume April 14, 2008
Floyd Lenhart (Graham, WA USA)
This is a very enjoyable history of perfume. The author inserts her own discoveries of the power of perfume that are interesting. And finally she explains her exclusive process for extracting essential oils.
The book is good reading and I would recommend it for anyone who is interested in a knowledge of perfume or contemplating producing their own.

I found this to be a fascinating account of the art of perfume making. The author seemed intent on sharing her years of work, knowledge and experience with others.

Totally disappointing! The history parts are hard to believe, and the perfume-making parts are, ummmm, weird.To give you a feel, she believes God (which one is unclear) gave her perfume making techniques that involve numerology, homeopathy, astrology, talking and transferring happy thoughts to her perfume brews, and probably other New Age techniques that I missed. If you want to learn more about scents, their history and making them, get both _An Album of Fragrance_ and the top-notch _Perfumes, Splashes & Colognes_ for less than the cost of this book.
