Publisher's Synopsis

The incredible stories of 100 perfumes from a whole century of scents.

Signature scents and now lost masterpieces; the visionaries who conceived them; the wild and wonderful campaigns that launched them; the women and men who wore them - every perfume has a tale to tell.

Join Lizzie Ostrom, dubbed 'the Heston Blumenthal of perfume' (Daily Mail), on an olfactory adventure as she explores the trends and crazes that have shaped the way we've spritzed.
