Review: Informative, Creative, Talented Entity - If you are looking for a truly interesting subject & wonder about the nuances of perfumery...this is the man who can reveal it all. Neil Chapman chooses individual perfumes & tells us a story about the fragrance and the origin in such a wondrous and delightful way, it will make even the people who could care less-CARE! Neil's Love of each scent is profoundly reviewed upon each beautifully gilded page. He will tweak your brain to find out more, while slipping into your consciousness with devilishly witty insights! I found myself hoping he'll do local reviews where I could hear him in person. This book is a decadent, luscious MUST HAVE! Neil Chapman- do some YouTube videos for all of us who wish to learn more! I realized while reading that I am so woefully uneducated, that I was humbled into wanting more. P.S.: As an aside, I have never seen a more tantalizing book jacket! Its very Noir beauty lures you into opening it...teasing & tickling your desires...
Review: A fragrance book for the perfume novice, as well as the perfume connoisseur. - Love this book! I have been reading the author's blog "The Black Narcissus" for ages and when I heard he was publishing a book I was over the moon with excitement. I have been a fragrance lover for my whole life, well over 39 years now, and I felt I knew so much about so many fragrances. Well, after reading this book I have learnt so much more and enriched my knowledge and appreciation of not just fragrance, but the notes themselves that make up the scents. Neil has a magnificent way of talking about fragrance that is witty, wry, interesting and extraordinarily informative as well. I have many books on fragrance and the history of fragrance, this one is definitely in the top tier of all of them. Not only will one enjoy learning about scents, even ones you might have thought you knew well, by you will be transported to far away wonderful places that are exquisitely conveyed by the author, bringing the fragrances to life. A book well worth owning. A must for the fragrance lover.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic journey through the world of fragrance!
*by H***R on April 5, 2019*

Neil Chapman has written a marvelously personal, knowledgeable guide to perfumes, which combines erudite chapters about the history and manufacture of fragrance with his individual reviews of specific perfumes, grouped loosely into categories such as "Green", then by notes like "green florals." It is a remarkably user-friendly format with an exhaustive index if one just wants to read one review of a specific fragrance. Neil has a poetic sensibility and lifelong love of perfume, both of which suffuse his writing. As he says, "In its wordless abstraction, a beautifully made scent can encapsulate an emotion; smell, with its visceral link to the unconscious, is unique in its emotional immediacy." His short reviews of individual fragrances combine information about their components and creation with his own deeply personal reactions to wearing them, or memories of times when he wore them. Since his own perfume collection must number in the thousands, including many rare vintage perfumes, even the most profligate collectors of perfumes will find surprises and revelations. The book itself is beautiful and would make a lovely gift to any fragrance-lover, especially if combined with a gift of an actual fragrance. It is a hardcover with a gorgeous metallic Art Deco design and gold-edged pages. Bravo, Neil!
