Quirky...yes! This is an excellent book on perfumes (designer scents) for the rest of us. Well-written and sometimes bizarre descriptions for perfumes that will make you want to run out and smell them just for the heck of it. Caution...if you do run out to the perfume counter after reading this book...
Snarky, opinionated and fun but never reaches the levels of transcendence (transcentdence?) that Turin's The Secret of Scent did. Still, if you are interested in perfume and the obsessive description thereof, pick this one up.
