• Book: Perfume Bottles: A Collector's Guide
• Author: Madeleine Marsh

• Publisher: Mitchell Beazley
• ISBN: 1840001623

This is a compact and colorful guide that is jam-packed with a lot of information for beginning perfume bottle collectors.

• Book: Perfume: The Art and Science of Scent
• Author: Cathy Newman
• Format: Hardcover: 176 pages
• Publisher: National Geographic
• ISBN: 0792273788

This book is an investigation into perfume as well as the perfume industry, but it originally began not as a perfume book, but as an article written for National Geographic magazine. As Newman delved deeper into this unique topic, she found herself wanting to write a book on the subject. Although there are many perfume books that are comprised of filler and useless information, this is certainly not one of them. This book never fails to completely capture the imagination of the reader from beginning to end.
