Summary 
Ellie's business and personal life have been flourishing in her hometown of Poppyville, California, since she opened Scents & Nonsense. She uses her very special skills to craft perfumes that almost magically ease heartache, inspire change, and bring joy--and her customers love to relax in the beautiful garden behind her shop with her corgi, Dash, and her cat, Nabokov. She even lives right next to the garden, in a compact "tiny house"--and she's excited to hear that a journalist is going to write a feature about her home and garden for a national magazine. But then the journalist is found dead, and suspicion falls on the last person to see him--who just happens to be Ellie's brother's girlfriend. So before everything goes to seed, Ellie must rely on her powers--observational and otherwise--to pick out the real killer from an ever-expanding bouquet of culprits. . . .

Summary 
Anne Walberg is a master of perfumes. She creates fragrances and sells her incredible gift to many companies. She is a perfectionist and temperamental. Guillaume is her new chauffeur and the only one who dares face her. This is probably why she doesn't fire him. Guillaume also desperately needs this job to maintain shared custody of his daughter, so he can only push back so hard. Perfumes is a nuanced and delightful dramedy.

Summary 
"Clementine, sometimes known as Judge, is a 72-year-old reformed con artist with a penchant for impeccably tailored suits. Her life of crime has led her from the uber-wealthy perfume junkies of belle epoque Manhattan, to the scented butterflies of Costa Rica, to the spice markets of Marrakesh, and finally the bordellos of Paris, where she settles down and opens a legitimate shop bottling her favorite extracts for the ladies of the cabarets. In 1941 as the Germans stranglehold on the city tightens, Clem's perfume-making attracts the notice of Oskar Voss, a francophile Nazi bureaucrat, who comes to demand Clem's expertise and loyalty in his mysterious play for Hitler's favor. Clem has no choice but to surrender fully to the con, but even though she knew playing the part of collaborator would be dangerous, she never imagined it would be so painfully intimate. At Oskar's behest and in an effort to win his trust, Clem tells him the full story of her life and loves, this time without the cover of the lies she came to Paris to escape. Complete with romance, espionage, champagne towers and haute couture, this full-tilt sensory experience is a dazzling portrait of the underground resistance of twentieth century Paris and a passionate love letter to the power of beauty and community in the face of insidious hate"--

"Ellie's life has blossomed in Poppyville, California, since she opened Scents & Nonsense, a custom-made-perfume store. Her skills with aromas and botanical essences--some from her very own garden--seem almost...supernatural. Her perfumes can evoke emotions, bring about change, or simply make people happy. Customers are flocking to the store to buy her wares or just to sit in her beautiful garden, sip tea and enjoy homemade cookies. But she smells trouble when she learns that her part-time assistant Josie is dating her ex. And before she can tell the young woman to beware of his charms, she finds Josie dead in the Enchanted Garden. Now the prime suspect in Josie's murder, Ellie must search for the real culprit in Josie's past--because it'll take a miracle to nip this problem in the bud..." --

Summary 
An olfactory adventure that explores the trends and crazes that have shaped the way we've spritzed over the past century. Signature scents and now-lost masterpieces, the visionaries who conceived them; the wild and wonderful campaigns that launched them; the women and men who wore them--every perfume has a tale to tell. Join Lizzie Ostrom, the nose behind "Odette Toilette," as she examines one hundred perfumes and scents in all their fragrant glory, revealing a fascinating social history along the way. From the belle époque through the swinging sixties, to the naughty nineties and into the aughts, Ostrom brings intelligence and wit to this most ravishing of subjects. There was the patriotic impact of English Lavender during World War I, and perfumes that captured the Egyptomania of the 1920s. Estée Lauder created Youth Dew and with it, distilled the essence of 1950s suburbia. Patchouli oil, the "anti-perfume" of the 1960s, was sure to keep money out of the hands of corporations and "the man." And who could forget the fervor created by the grunge androgyny of CK One? Scent is truly a passport to memory, making this book both a lush treat and an insightful examination of the twentieth century through the most mysterious of the five senses.--Adapted from dust jacket.
