“Their work is, quite simply, ravishingly entertaining... You don’t have to like perfume to like ‘Perfumes: The Guide.’”
“...entertaining and indeed encyclopedic...”
“...dazzling insight abounds in Perfumes, which ... proves scent to be an art form as deserving of critical scrutiny as music, film and wine. The reference shocks with originality.”
“...as vivid as any criticism I’ve come across in the last few years, and what’s more a revelation: part history, part swoon, part plaint.”
“...a wide-ranging critical review of some 1,200 perfumes, both famous and obscure, this comprehensive book is unfailingly entertaining.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Far more addictive than it has any right to be”
“After spending the better part of a weekend reading a galley—often aloud to anyone willing to listen—I’m convinced Turin and Sanchez offer some of the most stylish, erudite and hilarious criticism in any subject field.”
