Scents of Time: Perfume from Ancient Egypt to the 21st Century Review

Scents of Time: Perfume from Ancient Egypt to the 21st Century

After reading Perfume : The Art and Science of Scent by Cathy Newman, Robb Kendrick, I was hooked on wanting to know more about the fragrance industry. I purchased this book because it's about fragrance itself rather than bottles, etc. This is a lovely book, although it does not go into great depth about the subject. But I don't think it was meant to. It's a coffee table book. However, the nicest surprise about the book are the 8 fragrances that come with it. I must say, I purchased the book because of the fragrances but I never thought they would be as nice as they are. I am very particular about fragrance and I find these to be absolutely splendid - and very French. They remind me of the little mini fragrance sets I've purchased from time to time of French lines such as Gerlain, Givenchy and Gres. The whole package is well worth it if you, like me, love fragrance.

An Ancient Egyptian Herbal Review

This is one of my all-time favorite research books on ancient Egypt. For anyone interested in the use of plants, perfumes, cosmetics, and/or medicines in ancient Egypt, this book is a must! Dr. Manniche talks about every plant used in ancient Egypt that has been identified, and also talks about the gardens so beloved by the ancient Egyptian people. I developed a talk on Egyptian cosmetics for use as a museum docent, and much of it is heavily based on Dr. Manniche's book.
