The incredible stories of 100 perfumes in all their fragrant glory - ten lovingly chosen scents for each decade of the twentieth century.

About the Author

Lizzie Ostrom is one of our most exciting commentators on all things perfume. A lifelong fragrance fan, she began hosting events and installations for people to discover the world of scent in 2010. From evenings on the aroma of outer space to scent tours of art galleries and trips to the past through perfume, Lizzie brings intelligence and wit to this most ravishing of subjects. She has helped many beauty and food brands to innovate using sensory design, and has collaborated with cultural and scientific institutions including Somerset House for their cult 'Perfume' exhibition, Tate, The Royal Academy and the Royal Institution. Lizzie lives in London and her favourite perfume changes far too often.

Reviews

A wonderful, well-informed read... Charming and illuminating... I loved it… if you're thinking about Christmas presents I would buy it...
*Spectator*

Lizzie Ostrom’s entertaining romp through a century of perfumes, ten per decade from 1900 to 1999… This book is as delectable an artefact as the product it describes… the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of J’Adore in your stocking.
*Independent*

A really enjoyable, fun book... a great stocking filler.
*The Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman*

Beautifully written and illustrated with a sumptuous cover, this would make a perfect gift.
*Stylist*

More social history than beauty book... the witty insights and fun, chatty style make this a lush treat or a gorgeous gift.
*The Debrief*
