New and upcoming perfume books for 2015: Perfume: A Century of Scents by Lizzie Ostrom, Vintage Perfumes by Jan Moran, The Last Rose of Summer by Kate Lord Brown, Un monde d’odeurs by Mathilde Laurent and Hidden Scents: The Language of Smell in the Age of Approximation by Allen Barkkume.
The first book from Lizzie Ostrom, aka Odette Toilette…
Danielle Bretancourt von Hoffman, a talented nose and wife of an aristocratic glass manufacturer, is plunged into a nightmare when England declares war on Nazi Germany: her young son and mother-in-law might be trapped in Poland behind advancing enemy lines. As the conflict sweeps across the globe, Danielle turns to her perfumery talent and French aesthetics, her strong work ethic, and her good business sense to pave a way for her family’s survival.

For fiction writers, the war has it all: a sweeping international stage, a full cast of heroes and villains, good versus evil, life or death choices, intrigue, suspense, romance, heartbreak, and, of course, gorgeous perfumes…
Jan Moran, author of the Fabulous Fragrances books and creator of the Scentsa fragrance finder, will publish her first novel, Scent of Triumph, in May…
