Perfume Power: The Values of Scent and Aroma

Fragrance, smell, odor, scent, aroma -- the perfumes of life are all around us, naturally. Freshly mown grass, a pine forest, the sea & the seashore can all provide refreshing & welcome aromas; other circumstances have equally distinctive odors, though the pervasive smell of a hospital, the sweaty atmosphere of a gym or the pungent stench of a farmyard may be less welcome to some. In this instructive volume, the author demonstrates how scent & aroma can have life-improving values. They can enrich both the body & the soul, they can come in the natural form of gardens or the artificial science-driven world of perfumery, they can come as pure herbs & essences &, for the person truly in tune with their senses, they can influence physical & mental well-being.
