Each decade is put under the lens and examines 10 different perfumes created during the said decade. It’s certainly fun to go back and reflect on things long after the fact to garner another perspective and just plain reminisce on the fact as well as the “woulda coulda shoulda” that may come along with it. In her book Perfume: A Century of Scents, Lizzie Ostrom (also known as Odette Toilette) sets out on a adventure to give a more cultural based account on the glorious fragrances that accompanied everyday life throughout the last century.

I absolutely love reading about different takes on history through different lenses of perception. ![]() ![]() I admit that I am a pretty fervent history buff.
