My friend, Shelley, gave me this book after we had read another of Chandler Burr's books, The Perfect Scent, for our book club. I really didn't want to read it - books about perfumes by the New York Times perfume editor (who knew such a thing existed?) just didn't appeal to me - I don't even wear perfume and smelling it gives me a headache.
Nonetheless, my sister convinced me I was being antisocial if I didn't read it so I did. And it was fascinating. When Shelley told me The Emperor was more about the science of smell, I knew the anti-social uber-nerd in me would immediately love it. And I did.
