THE SCENT TRAIL
Following your nose can be the best way to travel, as author Celia Lyttelton will attest. If you don’t think spritzing Happy on the inside of your wrists or dabbing any old Poison behind your ears will do, the only way out is to create your very own perfume! Follow Lyttelton around the world as she picks up the scent from rose to root. Needless to say, the happy ending will have you raring to find your own unique aromatic formula. Published by Random House Australia. AU$49.95, ISBN 9780 59305 1146.
