Books that prominently feature perfume as a central or peripheral character are popping up more frequently these days. Either that or I am just more aware of them, given my proclivity for perfume. I recently received a new book written by John Oehler, called “Aphrodesia”. It is about a young and gifted student perfumer who attempts to recreate the scent of the Queen of Sheba, or Balquees, which was so beguiling she used it to seduce King Solomon. His success is also his downfall.

The winner of a copy of Aphrodesia is Lori L. Please contact michelyn@cafleurebon.com with your mailing details and APHRODESIA as your subject by February 21, 2013 2 PM.
