Customer Review: The Smell of Love
Maggie Tisserand’s book, “Essence of Love,” is an excellent introductory book for anyone interested in the use of scents to improve one’s romantic life. Tisserand provides basic tips and pointers for those who are new to working with essential oils, and also explains which scents are most useful for which effects. Even if you don’t have a lover to massage with heavenly-scented oils, you can benefit from bringing scents into your daily life. Luxuriate in scented baths, and savor the pleasure of a well-scented home.

If you are really getting into the art of blending essential oils, Tisserand provides a number of wonderful recipes that can help you with various skin and hair care issues, or simply improve how you feel (emotionally). I was surprised to learn that jojoba oil can emulsify fats in the deeper layers of the skin, so the body can more easily get rid of them — and that lemongrass oil can fight and eliminate infection in the connective tissues of the body.

This book is a wonderful reference book, as well as being packed with information that will both inspire and amaze you. I found Tisserand’s list of scentual facts to be especially fascinating… it includes such tantalizing tidbits as, “Female hormones can be diffused across a room, but male pheromenes can only be transferred by intimate contact.”
Customer Review: Erotic and Interesting!
I was a bit skeptical when I ordered this book, but when it arrived, I was blown away! It tells how body scents effect our sexual attraction and gives recipes for just about anything, including aromatic tampons! Some of the topics stated in the book just aren’t attainable. No one has the time to make the effort of anointing themselves with 20 different kinds of oils. Otherwise, a very informative and naughty book.
