Reading the headline and the first few paragraphs, I actually expected some guide to why certain perfumes smell better.

Instead, we get a bunch of quotations that seem to have nothing to do with the actual fragrance but rather depict how the author "feels" about a perfume.

The book sounds shallow and useless and the review more so. (Well, I suppose not. After all, I now have one more entry in my "Books not to bother buying" list.)
