It's a simple but well written overview, illustrated with wonderful images of antique bottles, incense burners, related fashions, etc., and depictions of the uses of fragrance throughout history -- including many works from the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collections.

If you didn't know what orange blossom smelled like, now you will know...but none of them are fragrances that I was dying to have a full bottle of.

Can't remember what I paid for mine, but I am sure it was not less than that. T, that was a good buy. Can't remember what I paid for mine, but I am sure it was not less than that.

I just ordered this last week and got the package today. I'm pretty excited about the little vials, I must admit. I scored a pristine copy for $18.44 (including S&H) from an Amazon Marketplace seller. Looking forward to cracking it open tonight. What a coincidence!
