It delivers the elusive scents for all to experience. This lavishly color-illustrated book showcases a fantastic collection of perfume atomizers against a factual historical text. It pays tribute to the artistic talents of the bottle designers, especially in France and Bohemia, where art and life co-mingled in the early, elegant decades of the twentieth century. Color posters of fantastic perfume advertisements with atomizers are reproduced, and they bring a true atmosphere of the idealized taste of the day - tempting and ephemeral. The 232 color photographs of atomizers show clearly that in them the designers achieved elegance in tangible form. Over 160 period catalogue illustrations not only help to document the associated atomizers, but they also display a chronology of products from the Belle Epoque and Art Deco eras which are so highly collected today.
