Editorial Reviews
Review
“As a veteran beauty editor, I recommend this book to all new writers covering fragrances. I also keep a stash of copies for last-minute gifts and dinner party hostesses. Jan Moran is a well-known fragrance expert who writes with authority and passion. Elegantly written and deceptively simple, her book is modestly priced for anyone who spends $50 or $100, or more, on a bottle of fragrance.” – Beauty Editor and Goodreads Reviewer
“Lovely book, describes many perfumes. Excellent if you formulate your own scents, gives you an idea of what combinations to try. If you love perfumes, gives classifications so that if you like a specific scent, you can look for other similar scents to search out and try. Well written, pleasant to read. Recommended.” – Amazon Reviewer

Quotes: “Jan Moran is the new queen of the epic romance.” — USA Today Bestselling Author Rebecca Forster Jan’s Note: Hello friends! A few of my favorite things include a good cup of coffee, dark chocolate, traveling anywhere, and a warm sunny beach. I’m originally from Austin, Texas, and a trace of a drawl still survives to this day, although I have lived in Southern California with my family for years. I am passionate about ideas, writing, and entrepreneurship, which is why my characters always seem to be starting or running their own business. History fascinates me, as does the perfect cheesecake. I love to hear from readers, and welcome your comments. You can often find me on social media — try looking on my blog or on Twitter @janmoran, which you can find on www.janmoran.com. Cheers, and happy reading!
