Free Perfume Book Giveaway: Coming to my Senses
"Alyssa Harad’s affair with scent begins in secret, late at night, by the glow of her computer screen when she stumbles on a blog devoted to perfume. Candid, elegant, and full of lush description and humor, COMING TO MY SENSES takes readers from a private museum of rare essences in Austin, Texas, to the glamorous fragrance showrooms of Manhattan, and finally to a homecoming in Boise, Idaho, to prepare for Harad’s wedding." She's one of us, guys, need I say more?

I have been searching for a good perfume book to read. Sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to read this for ages! Thanks for hosting the giveaway (I'm in the US).
ReplyDeleteAlready a Bertrand Duchaufour fan, I just finished reading The Perfume Lover: A Personal History of Scent by Denyse Beaulieu. I was also enthralled some years ago by Chandler Burr's The Emperor of Scent. Can't wait to read Harad's story!
ReplyDeleteReading & perfume-two of my favorite things.
ReplyDeleteGood books on perfumes are so rare, so kudos!

Fun .. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteAnother perfume book! There can't be too many.
ReplyDeleteI have loved reading Perfume Shrine for several years, and I would also love reading this book!
ReplyDeleteHi, book sounds fab! I've recently studied perfumery and am now based in countryside nsw australia developing some fragrances. It's quite challenging and isolated and books like this unavailable. I sure would love to be in the runnings to win a copy as the inspiration would be fab!! (I have my fingers and toes crossed!!)
ReplyDeleteI've had my eye on this book since I heard about it. I'd love to win it but even if I don't, I will buy it. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI've been waiting for the paperback and it is finally here! I appreciate the hardcover, but didn't want to lug it around as I read on the train to and from work.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the draw!
I just recently became aware of the world of scents. Now I'm hooked. Thank you for making this giveaway possible! I love Perfume Shrine!

Looks entertaining and well written. I relate to the idea of 'coming out' about a secret perfume obsession! I found it interesting to discover how many women feel emotional about perfume. I love it when friends come round and we have a sniffing session.
ReplyDeleteAll these new books about perfume! I've heard there's a new book by (or about?) Frederick Malle, also one by Jean Claude Ellena
Thanks for the opportunity!

It's always an honor and pleasure to be invited to share one's personal discovery through scent . I would love to read of her fragrance about her journey.
ReplyDeleteIt would really be great to have a copy of this book! I enjoy reading all things perfume related. Thank you for this drawing.
ReplyDeleteI read "Damage Control" by Denise Hamilton and loved it...I would probably never even heard of it if I had not read the perfume blogs that recommended it. I would love to read this bookon your recommendation. Thanks for the drawing.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read this forever! Thanks for the draw :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteI saw this and have it on my list, looks really interesting. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWould love to read this memoir. Have always loved AH's posts. I'm in the US, natch.

ReplyDeleteScent is the most difficult sense to write about--but such a pleasure to read about!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great giveaway! I know I'm too late but just wanted to leave a comment anyway. I love reading perfume books.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, winners to be announced shortly (check back later), sorry for the delay.
