2 out of 5 stars Banal and Incomplete   May 16, 2008
C. J. Easton (Mattapoisette MA USA)

This book reads like an advertisement for the perfumes rather than real
expert critical analysis. He also completely omits men's fragrances for some reason. Also men and women can share fragrances and he doesn't even allude to that. All this added up to a very incomplete and disapointing read. I'm glad I didn't spend too much money on it.
Luca Turin's guide is greatly superior- Buy that.

Straight to the point, easy to read, and the majority of great perfumes covered. Also a good way to learn of new perfumes

Highly recommended
