Summary: Sweetly elegant!
Review: "Aromatiques" by Eva-Marie Lind is an artful, sensual delight! Eloquently written aromatherapy information presented with the flower of poetry. Gorgeous photography. I recommend perusing this book while soaking in a fragrant bubbly tub with candles and a glass of bubbly!!!

Summary: Beautiful, simple and useful
Review: A beautiful book and not a fluff book, which is always a pleasure. The descriptive language of scent, and the photography is quite excellent. So often lovely books are devoid of meaningful content. I love that so much space is devoted to suppliers, suggestions for further reading, and also a reference for individuals/organizations. The formulations are easy, and not overly complicated, yet their final fragrances are always enchanting. I particularly like the Jump Start Blend combined with dry skin brushing. A great way to start my day.

Summary: Informative and Beautifully Written
Review: I am collector of aromatherapy and natural perfumery books, as well as a teacher of beginning natural perfumery. I highly recommend this book.
In fact I just recommended it to a class I taught a month ago, along with Mandy Aftels, Essence and Alchemy. One finds a bit of
misinformation in Aromatherapy books, especially about safety and
individual use of specific oils. Eva-Marie's book is very well
researched and not a provider of mis-information.Eva-Marie writes
eloquently, poetically, and refreshingly clearly about aromatherapy.
As a perfumer, I find her blends delicious to smell. I also like to buy books from known and respected members of the aromatherapy community and Eva-Marie is well respected. A romantic , aromatic journey. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Beautiful and informative book
Review: I have a huge collection of aromatherapy and perfume books. This book has the most beautiful photographs and charming verse. It is poetic yet is very educational and useful. The descriptions of scent classifications and characteristics are very helpful. Aromatiques would make a wonderful gift.

Summary: A delightful book
Review: I really enjoy this book. I have made several of the blends and they are so much more sophisticated and intriguing than those found in the usual aromatherapy books that are on the market. I would like to read more from this wonderful author and educator. It's a very worthwhile addition to your natural perfumery or aromatherapy library.

Summary: Aromatiques
Review: Sensual is the key phrase here!Everything about this book is a visual delight. But let's not judge this book solely by its cover or gorgeous photograpy-let's get to the heart of the subject. Aromatherapy is a lot more than sniffing lavender oil and proclaiming yourself a practitioner. Eva is generous with information not only about the sensual beauty of the essences, but very importantly, about the dangers. Face it, these are potent chemicals, or they would not be so effective. Eva's thoroughness allows the uninitiated to dive into these heavenly scents with confidence and success.More experienced aromatherapists will appreciate the inspiring blend suggestions and the review of a few (how did that happen?)forgotten facts from aromatherapy school.

Summary: A beautiful, easy to understand book!
Review: The photography in this book is truely beautiful. The pictures alone make you want to try aromatherapy. Eva writes in a way that makes it easy to understand, even for someone who is a complete novice. It leaves you with the desire and the knowledge to try using essential oils, along with a beautiful sense of well-being. A really wonderful book...I look forward to reading it again and again.

Summary: Medicine as Art
Review: This book allows the layperson to understand and appreciate the powerful and the subtle, not to mention the sublime. It has introduced me to a very old medicine as art.

Before reading Eva-Marie Lind's "Aromatiques" I was a bit of a naysayer about aromatherapy..."smells nice" kinda person. I received the book as a gift and devoured it, everyone in my household has enjoyed it. We have tried some of the suggestions and now are aware of how everyday as well as exotic aromas affect our moods, health and well being.
