Coming to My Senses: A Story of Perfume, Pleasure, and an Unlikely Bride by Alyssa Harad
4.0
I do not read books just because they have beautiful prose.
I am not a big reader of memoirs.
But this book is much more than lovely sentences or touching personal insights. I was hooked from the start--partly because I could identify with the author in many ways (although in other areas we are very different) and partly because she managed to make subject of perfume fascinating.
Since reading this book I have taken more notice of the scents around me.
