This book explains how to make perfumed products from simple, easy to find ingredients. The book is a primer for those who will want to go on to creating their own business; which is encouraged by the author. It contains over 50 recipes for Toilet-Waters, Colognes, Aftershaves, Bubble Baths, etc. I believe in try before you buy so here is a sample recipe: Lilac Perfume:1/16 oz lilac oil,1/16 oz heliotrope oil, 1/4 oz oil of bergamot, 1 oz tincture of benzoin, 12 oz SDA 40B 200 Perfumer's Alcohol, 2 oz distilled water. Go away and try it...if you like it, then buy the book.
