The Secret Ways of Perfume

By: Cristina Caboni

Narrated by: Hillary Huber

From Florence to Paris, a scent like no other can take you unexpected places . . .

Ten-year-old Elena lives in Florence with her cold and distant perfumier grandmother. Only when enveloped in aromas does Elena feel at home, and she has nurtured a unique gift: the ability to decipher the ingredients of a perfume, and experience the feelings it evokes.

Years later, Elena’s talent leads her to the cobbled streets of Paris. There she rediscovers an old, secret family perfume recipe that no other perfumier has been able to replicate.

As Elena begins to open her heart to new adventures she meets a man who is guarding his own secrets. From France’s sun-drenched lavender fields to the ancient heart of Italy, together they will follow a path of secret scents, distant memories and new hopes . . .

delightfully complex

the beginning lagged a bit, but what a delightful story with a sweet finish. HH.s narration was spot on....

Superb!!

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment I heard this story and how the characters come to life. I was upset that it finished because I didn’t want the captivating story to end. One of the best books I’ve ever owned!!!
