The secret behind the illustrated book in your hands is Mandy Aftel has no secrets- she has given you keys to a kingdom of scented treasures from the beginning of written history.  Her own kingdom is comprised of a multiplicity of realms both within the text of Fragrant, and the myriad routes Mandy has traveled to bring this wunderkammern of raw materials, exotic tales of our human folly and fortune, a card catalog of further works to pursue- not because Aftelier Perfumes is her creation, but because fragrance, itself, is her purposed passion.

We have a draw for The Companion Kit which was generously sent to our Editor in Chief by Riverside Publishing. Michelyn believes that to best experience FRAGRANT The Secret Life of Scent, it is 'essential" to have the five heros of the book: Cinnamon, Spearmint, Jasmine, Frankincense and Ambergris at your side. We have one kit for a US Reader. The random winner of  the draw is Sandi L. Please email michelyn at cafleurebon dawt com by November 10, 2014 2PM EST with Fragrant by Mandy Aftel  Companion Kit as your subject and your complete mailing details. This is a deadline and no exceptions if you are late. There is no spilled perfume. Please use your email from your comment so we know it is you.
