"Another beautiful book by Karen Gilbert" according to maryanne. Another beautiful book by Karen Gilbert. It differs from Natural beauty in being more basic and talking about combining scents. There is so much wonderful information here. I have studied essential oils extensively and learned so much more from this book. I love Karens approach. Very step by step, practical and yet not many people teach about oils in. Great book I cant put it down Great book I cant put it down! The way Karen writes is very intriguing and keeps you in tune. I really like how she discusses perfume history into the modern world of perfumery. This is a must buy for anyone interested in making their own perfumes or if your an avid perfume lover. I will be placing another order on her other book soon. Thanks!. Give it a miss little to learn here The least valuable of all my books : perfumes. It is a little book in all ways, sorry Karen.
