## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Fascinating Read: Who Knew Perfume Could be so Interesting?
*by W***E on June 3, 2023*

The title, Elixir, and description having to do with "A Parisian Perfume House" is accurate but Dr. Levitt's most recent b, as her, "Short Bright Flash", provides the reader with a fascinating look at the history and narrative surrounding a topic one would seldom believe could be so interesting. Not only does the book explain the creative chemistry associated with the development of French perfumes, for me, it provides a unique look into French culture, life, and history around the time of the Revolution. Like my reading of a Short Bright Flash, I found Elixir hard to put down. I enthusiastically recommend it for Summer reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A beautifully written, engaging history and history of science...
*by J***R on July 22, 2024*

An engaging account of the development of perfumes, elixirs, and organic chemistry. A great read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fragrant and compelling
*by T***F on May 5, 2023*

Elixir is a great read, capturing the action - and fragrances - of Paris in the first half of the 19th century. Written for a general audience, it would also be a wonderful gift for anyone in your circle who has ever taken organic chemistry.
