Essence and Alchemy: A Natural History of Perfume Paperback – May 18, 2022

The writer knows their stuff and obviously has a passion for the subject - its a shame they can't write so well. The words are often rambling and wander all over the place, and it feels as though they are trying to fill the page rather than just share their knowledge. Its unfortunate, because there are not many books on this subject and it has an interesting history. Perhaps it would be worth the publisher engaging a professional writer to turn it into something worthwhile.
