  Those seeking an alternative gift for the perfume lover will enjoy Dr. Richard Stamelman’s exquisitely researched volume exploring the cultural history of perfume and its impact on art, literature, and society from the mid- eighteenth century to today. Through thoughtful writing and rich imagery, Dr. Stamelman (of Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH) explores subjects such as Napolean’s love of perfume, the sensual imagery attached to modern perfume advertisements, and the connection between love and perfume. From base note to top note, your next fragrance purchase will carry even deeper meaning after you have internalized just how much history lies within the bottle. Available at Amazon.com
