A Passion for Perfume celebrates the joys of perfume, and offers fascinating insights into why you choose the one you do.

Perfume is the ultimate gift to the senses.The lavish packaging of its bottle will first tempt the eye and beg to be picked up. More significantly, the scent of the perfume, once experienced, has the power to become part of your identity, and will capture a moment forever.

Jo Glanville-Blackburn guides you through the most recognisable fragrance families, Floral, Oriental, Fern Fresh Green, and Chypre, and explores their ingredients, notes and the great classics that epitomise them. From the intense, narcotif perfume of jasmine to the exotic, musky oriental spices, you'll discover that there is an individual scent for everyone.
