This book is as delectable an artefact as the product it describes... the perfect accompaniment to a bottle of J'Adore in your stocking. -- Suzi Feay * Independent * A really enjoyable, fun book... a great stocking filler. -- BBC Radio 2 Fact Not Fiction Book Club * The Arts Show with Claudia Winkleman * Beautifully written and illustrated with a sumptuous cover, this would make a perfect gift. -- Cathy Rentzenbrink * Stylist * More social history than beauty book... the witty insights and fun, chatty style make this a lush treat or a gorgeous gift. -- Alexandra Heminsley * The Debrief * The perfect non-fiction stocking filler for perfume aficionados and beauty lovers... One of the most gorgeous covers this Christmas... A Century of Scents will inform and entertain -- Natalie Xenos * Culturefly * A joyous canter through important scents launched during each decade of the twentieth century... a fabulous read. It would also make an excellent present for a perfume or beauty fan. -- Amanda Carr * The Women's Room * A series of engaging vignettes... acute social commentary and fascinating anecdotes. -- Juanita Coulson * The Lady * Gloriously evocative. -- Femail * Daily Mail * A giddying, gleeful whistlestop tour of the 20th century... Ostrom has the enthusiasm and mischievous twinkle of TV historian Lucy Worsley. -- Rebecca Franks * We Love This Book *
