I thoroughly enjoyed this book that does not so much explain the "how" as the "why" of Mr. Ellenas gift. As I read this. I felt as if I was peeking into hand-written notes that he puts in his beloved Moleskine notebooks every few days. If youre interested in his stream of conscience thoughts rather than analytical details of perfume construction (although there are interesting details of this as well) you will be delighted with this little book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
