loved this story. It made me laugh, told great stories, and made me sad and frustrated for the characters, but then made me think about how I never know what people's personalities are based on, what their lives are REALLY like or why they are who they are. A lesson for me.
I enjoyed this immensely. It's one of those books one carries around reading aloud from. Full of fascinating chemistry tidbits as well as the slightly less fascinating celebrity/designer ones. Burr's scathing, off-the-cuff assessments of current perfumes are hilarious, as are his other asides. Here's a favorite quote: "Perfumers are deeply strange people simply because their sensorial perception of the world is so highly trained. The educated olfactory capacity makes spending time with them not unlike spending time with talking Labradors." Well written and engrossing.
One of the only books that is far worse than the movie.
life is short. so is this book.
I absolutely loved this book! It made me feel a little more "normal," as I remember.
