My Thoughts: I loved this book. I loved reading about Élodie creating the perfumes and all that it entails. It made me want to create my own perfume. I loved how Élodie and Marcelo wandered Paris together - discovering pieces of history and being inspired to create the perfume. I felt terrible for Élodie with her family troubles, but I love how she dealt with them. I can see this book becoming a book club favorite.
